The official name is: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Some nicknames are: The LDS Church, The Mormons, The Mormon Church, The Church, The True Church

There are several small splinter groups that share some common beliefs with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but they are not affiliated with the Church in any way. People who are not familiar with the LDS Church can be confused by the use of the term "Mormon" because there are some denominations that use the name "Mormon" because of their common belief in the Book of Mormon, but they are not members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. These sects include: The Community of Christ (formerly the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (most commonly known for practicing polygamy), The Church of Christ (Temple Lot), The Church of Jesus Christ, The Rigdonites

Who brought the first Mormons to the us?

Nobody. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) was founded in the US - so the first Mormons were already in the US! :) If you are speaking of the first Mormons to move from another country to the US, rather than the first Mormons ever in the US, the answer is still nobody. The first Mormons to move from another country to the US came from Canada, and were not 'brought' by any specific person, only encouraged to move so that they could be nearer to the main body of the church.
