Lieutenant.
It was very convenient that this was also her rank.

Uhura's first name, if she has one, has never been definitively established. Roddenberry stated that she only had one name: "Uhura".[citation needed] However, three names have been suggested as possible first names for Uhura: "Nyota", "(U)Penda", and "Samara".
"Nyota", Swahili for "star", appears in a Star Trek script from the 1960s,[citation needed] and is mentioned by William Shatner in his book "Star Trek Memories".
Although the name has not appeared in the Star Trek canon, in many appearances at Star Trek conventions, Nichols has indicated that the character is "Nyota (U)penda Uhura".[citation needed] The non-canon book "The Best of Trek" suggests that Uhura's first name is "Penda". According to FASA's non-canon Star Trek RPG, Uhura's first name is "Samara".

May be mistaken but I don't believe it was ever said. I think it was because she was from Africa so her name was just Uhura.
