Answer:

The name "Utah" originates from the Native American "Ute" tribe which means people of the mountains.

The name Utah is said to derive from the name of the Ute tribe, meaning 'people of the mountains'. However, no such word actually exists in the Utes' language, and the Utes refer to themselves as Noochee.
