When finally the Mormons where given a territory to settle in they wanted it to be named Deseret, which means Honey Bee. The Governor at that time said no to their request and said it was to be called Utah after the Ute Indians. He little realized that an earlier prophecy from God said that a temple would be built in the mountain tops. The meaning of the world Utah means Mountain Top. As far as I know Salt Lake City has always been the capital.
