Wikipedia
Ammon (; ) was an Iron Age Semitic-speaking nation occupying the east of the Jordan River, between the torrent valleys of Arnon and Jabbok, in present-day Jordan. The chief city of the country was Rabbah or Rabbath Ammon, site of the modern city of Amman, Jordan's capital. Milcom and Molech (who may be one and the same) are named in the Hebrew Bible as the gods of Ammon. The people of this kingdom are called "Children of Ammon" or "Ammonites".

Ammon may also refer to:
In the Book of Mormon, Ammon is a prominent Nephite missionary and a son of King Mosiah. He originally opposes the church but, along with his brothers and Alma the Younger, is miraculously converted. Following his conversion he serves a mission to the Lamanites and converts Lamoni and his people.
In the Book of Mormon, Ammon 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. This may have contributed to his expedition, not knowing the actual route to Nephi.
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.
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". 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.
Ammon ( Greek ) was a geometrician who made a measurement of the walls of Rome, around the time of the first invasion of the Goths, that is, the 3rd century, and found them to be 21 miles in circumference.
