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 . The meaning of "Utes" as "the mountain people" has been attributed to the neighboring Pueblo Indians, as well as to the Apache word , which means "one that is higher up" or "those that are higher up".
