Who was king Mormon? Mosiah 18:4

Who was king Mormon? Mosiah 18:4

Alma is starting to preach in private in a place called Mormon.
And it came to pass that as many as did believe him did go forth to a place which was called Mormon, having received its name from the king, being in the borders of the land having been infested, by times or at seasons, by wild beasts.
Oh English. You lovely, ambiguous language, you.

Here "from" could mean that the name of the place was "after" the name of the King. But we know that the king was actually named Noah, so this doesn't hold.

Answer:
It most likely means that King Noah named this place.
