According to the Book of Mormon, Alma, the son of Alma (/ ˈælmə /) was a Nephite prophet often referred to as "Alma the Younger '' to distinguish him from his father, who is often referred to as "Alma the Elder ''. These appellations, "the Younger '' and "the Elder '', are not used in the Book of Mormon; they are distinctions made by scholars, useful because both individuals were prominent during the same time period and filled a similar cultural and religious role. Alma is the namesake of the Book of Alma.
