I don't know about past versions of UITableView protocols, but as of iOS 9, func tableView(tableView: UITableView, titleForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> String? is part of the UITableViewDataSource protocol.

   class ViewController: UIViewController {

      @IBOutlet weak var tableView: UITableView!

      override func viewDidLoad() {
         super.viewDidLoad()
         tableView.dataSource = self
      }
   }

   extension ViewController: UITableViewDataSource {
      func tableView(tableView: UITableView, titleForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> String? {
         return "Section name"
      }
   }

You don't need to declare the delegate to fill your table with data.
