Utah got its name from the Ute Native American tribe which reside within the states borders. The name was first officially used when the land was declared the Utah Territory in the Compromise of 1850. It was proposed by those within Utah that it be named Deseret, along with much different boundaries; the U.S. Government did not comply.
