Brigham Young, leader of the Mormon Church, led his followers across the western United States to settle in Utah in the mid-1800s. He established a theocratic government that promoted religious and social unity among his followers. Through careful planning and resource management, he developed agriculture, industry, and infrastructure in Utah, transforming it into a prosperous community that Mormons saw as a new Zion.

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) did not give Utah it's name. They wanted the state to be called "Deseret", but the United States government chose to call it "Utah" after the Ute Indians instead.
Legend has it that the Mormons were okay with that name because "Utah" in Ute means 'top of the mountains', and Mormons believe that them settling in the area was a fulfillment of Isaiah's prophesy that "it shall come to pass in the last days, [that] the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains" (Isaiah 2:2)
