From ut brekka, out-on the-slope. Lindsay Macgregor informs us that it is 'a small settlement on the edge of a hill, c 500m inland, 30m asl, 350m SE of Houlland and 1000m N of Scalloway, with which it was scatted in 1500 at 2 urislands. It does not appear in the 1716 scat-list. From place-name evidence alone, Utnabrake is evidently the secondary farm in this Scattald.'
