:UTC is the symbol but Coordinated Universal Time is the English name.

The BIH, in english the International Bureau of Time is headquartered in

from GMT to UTC, as well as some of technical specifications as to how
it is calculated.  There are several time standards, UTC, UT1 and UT2 and others
depending on how they are measured.
