Abrom, a Zeon.
The Zeons are the humanoid inhabitants of planet Zeon, one of the two M-class planets in an unnamed star system.
By the mid-23rd Century, Zeon had been living in peace for many generations, and had developed the beginnings of interplanetary spaceflight. Noticing the state of anarchy among the warlike, pre-spaceflight Ekosians, many Zeons came to Ekos in an effort to help their neighbors learn peaceful ways.
After the cultural contamination of John Gill and the takeover of the Nazi regime by Melakon, Zeons became a hunted people on Ekos. Using the Nazi model, Melakon used the presence of Zeons in much the same way as Hitler used the Jews of Germany and Europe scape-goats to be blamed for Ekos' problems and eventually a threat to be eliminated. With the technology elicited from Gill, Melakon rapidly upgraded Ekosian weapons. By 2268 the "Final Decision", a nuclear attack on the planet Zeon, was preparing for deployment. The USS Enterprise (NCC-1701), assigned to discover what had happened to John Gill, arrived in the M43 Alpha system just before the launch of the "Final Decision" genocidal invasion against Zeon. The intervention of Kirk, Spock and McCoy, roused Gill in time to call-off the attack, and Gill recanted his beliefs to Kirk as he died, insisting the Prime Directive was "the only way".
The regime created by Gill and Melakon proved to be weaker than their German model. The Nazi government and the "Final Decision" was not embraced by all of Ekos. An underground alliance of Zeons and Ekosians had formed, including high-level Nazi party members who wanted no part in the genocide. Kirk's actions allowed the Zeon Isak to kill Deputy Führer Melakon. Afterwards, there appeared to be no impediment to the worlds working together. Spock observed that the union of the the two cultures would make a fine addition to the Federation. (TOS: "Patterns of Force")

Background
The name "Zeon" is drawn from "Zion," the ancient Hebrew designation for Jerusalem, from which the political movement "Zionism" is derived. The character names were variants of Biblical figures: Abrom for Abraham; Isak for Isaac; Davod for David.
