While the people of Ìdànrè and Èkìtì/Àkúrẹ́ people from towns like Ìlárá-Mọ̀kín, Àkúrẹ́, Ìjàrẹ́, Ìkẹ́rẹ́-Èkìtì each have ancestors/ancient kings named Ọlọ́fin, deities/gods named Ọlọ́fin, and thus given/family names referencing Ọlọ́fin, the gods named Ọlọ́fin worshipped in these different towns are different entities. Ọlọ́fin simply is a praise name meaning "king" or "royal one," thus many ancient king-like figures that were eventually deified as gods were given the title Ọlọ́fin euphemistically. Ọlọ́fin Aremitan is the first Owa of Idanre and regarded as a brother of Oduduwa, and he is worshipped in Idanre as "Ọlọ́fin." Many sources also suggest that Ọlọ́fin was also the nickname of Odùduwà himself (he is referred to as Ọlọ́fin Àdìmúlà), and thus he and other Ifẹ̀ kings were also deified as gods called "Olofin," or "Olofin Ufẹ̀."
