50 Utah Names That Are Entirely Unique
Gallery
Utah has grown into a city where different indigenous communities have been living for several years, including the antiquated Puebloans, the Navajo, and the Ute.
Mormons, the people from the congregation living in Utah, US, have a mantra, 'in the world, not of the world', which they apply to everything. It is also part of the way they name their children.
They pick standard names but change the spelling to create new ones that are unique and individualistic. Utah is the state with the highest birth rate in the United States states, whereby a large part of the population already uses common names.
As such, creating unique names allows the people of Utah to provide some individuality to their child and make the name identifiable among the rest.
In any case, only one out of every odd Mormon parent likes imagined or blend names for their kids. Some pick Biblical names or names from the tales or sections of the 'Book Of Mormon'.
