No. "Mormon" is a nickname for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The nickname was originally given to them as a way to mock their belief in the Book of Mormon, but most members have embraced it.

Unaware of any individual, Mormon or otherwise, with that name.
On the cover of the Book of Mormon it typically just says "The Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ". It is possible to get the cover engraved or personalized with the owners name, so if there is another name on the cover it is probably the name of the owner of that particular book. Inside the Book of Mormon, there are many names. The Book of Mormon covers the history of a people for about 2500 years, so many people are named.
