What does the word morman mean?

Answer 1

I believe you mean 'Mormon', not 'morman', because you posted the question on the 'Mormonism' question site. Maybe not, it is also possible that you are asking about the word 'morman', because you wouldn't misspell the word because the word 'Mormonism' is the title of this site.

Anyway to answer your question: 'What does the word morman mean?'

From: Wikipedia

Morman (died 818) was a Breton chieftain who was declared King (rex) after the death of the Bretons' Frankish overlord Charlemagne in 814. He is the first personage known by name to be described as a Breton "king" and he probably ruled a warband with members drawn from throughout Brittany. He had a stronghold defended by ditches, hedges, and marshes.

Morman had been a faithful follower of Charlemagne, having sworn oaths to him and performed the giving of hands, probably becoming his vassus, although the Bretons rose up in rebellion in 811. Morman's rebellion against Frankish lordship in 814 threatened the integrity of the empire recently inherited by Louis the Pious. While the Bretons may have contended that the elevation of Morman on the death of the incumbent Charlemagne was legitimate, the Frankish writers Astronomus and Ermold the Black viewed it as a usurpation. Louis sent Abbot Witchar to negotiate with Morman. According to Ermold, the abbot asked, "Do you not remember your sworn fealty, or your right hand to the Franks / often given, and to Charles the service you showed?" But after failing to bring Morman around to accepting Frankish rule, Louis prepared an army to invade Brittany.

In the spring of 818, the army, composed of forces from all the Carolingian regna (literally "kingdoms", but actually subkingdoms), assembled at Vannes, the westernmost point of sure Frankish control, and marched to Priziac in the far west of the county of the Vannetais on the bank of the Ellé. The Franks launched a series of attacks on various Breton fortresses and, after Morman was killed in battle, resistance collapsed. According to the Chronicle of Moissac, Louis returned with a "triumph of victory", although the Bretons revolted again in 822 under Wihomarc.

In case you were asking about Mormon and not Morman,

Mormon is a common nickname for a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They were given this nickname because of their belief in the Book of Mormon, which they use as scripture along with The Bible. Mormons believe that the Book of Mormon is a record of an ancient American civilization which was transcribed by an ancient prophet named Mormon. Since Mormon is a name it doesn't really have any meaning, but some Mormons have suggested that it should mean "more good."

Answer 2

Do you mean "Mormon"? The word "Mormon" comes from the Book of Mormon. It is the name of an ancient American prophet who transcribed the records of his people, who lived in about 300 A.D. These records were eventually found and translated by Joseph Smith and were published as the Book of Mormon in 1830. Those who are members of the church Joseph Smith started are often called "Mormons" because of their belief in this book, but the official name of their church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

If you really did mean "Morman", he was a little-known Breton chieftain who was named king after the death of the Frankish Lord Charlemagne in 814. He ruled a small band of warriors in Brittany for 4 years before being killed in battle.
