Named in other records

Histories that mention Utagba

These are published records whose own words name Utagba. A mention is not a history of Utagba, which is why they are listed here rather than with the histories about it.

Read as: Utagba. Counted where the name is written with a capital, because a lower-case occurrence of a name that is also an ordinary word is the word.
