56. Ammon is an Ancient Israeli name and used in the book of Mormon

When Lot had sex with his daughters and they each had a child, one was name Ammon. He became the founder of the Ammonite people who are mentioned in the old Testament as a people close to but also an enemy of Ancient Israel and Judea:

Thus the name is biblical and has nothing to do with Ammunition.

In the book of Mormon it is name of one of the heroes of that book. For background the Nephi were a "Light skin" race of ancient Israelis who left the Book of Mormon for Joseph Smith to find and translate and then publish in 1830. The Lamanites were a dark skin people also from ancient Israel but who had been "Cursed" and later wiped out the Nephi.

Anyway here in Ammon as he is told about in the book of Mormon:

In the Book of Mormon, Ammon(/ˈæm.ʌn/[1]) is the leader of a Nephite expedition from Zarahemla, sent to discover the fate of Zeniff and his people who have not been heard from for 75 years. Zeniff and his followers left Zarahemla and travelled to Nephi, their ancestral home, which was then in the possession of the Lamanites. Ammon is not a Nephite by birth but a descendant of Zarahemla and thus a Mulekite.[2] This may have contributed to his expedition, not knowing the actual route to Nephi.[3]

Ammon and his men discover the descendants of the people of Zeniff, who had successfully colonized Nephi but were then enslaved by the Lamanites. Zeniff's grandson Limhi rules under the Lamanites and initially imprisons Ammon. Upon learning who Ammon is, he releases him and rejoice in his arrival. Ammon, Gideon, and King Limhi devise a plan to escape from the Lamanites, wherein they make the Lamanite guards drunk. The plan is successful and Ammon leads them back to Zarahemla.[4]

Prior to their escape, Ammon teaches the people of Limhi the famous sermon of King Benjamin and helps convert them to the gospel. However, when the people desire baptism, Ammon refuses to perform the ordinance, "considering himself an unworthy servant".[5] The reason for his apprehension is not given, and the people wait until they reach Zarahemla to be baptised by Alma the Elder, who was previously a priest among them.

Thus Ammon is a popular name among Mormons.
