The name Ekiti is a derivation of an earlier term, Okiti, which means "Hilly" in Yoruba, as characterized by the generally hilly terrain of the areas which the Ekiti inhabit.

The attempt by the British colonists to impose a sole native authority in Ekitiland in pursuit of their indirect rule policy failed because of the rejection of the supremacy theory among Ekiti Obas. In fact, non-Yoruba tribes like the Nupe and the Ibaribas came to transact business in the town and many of them in the process settled permanently in Otun. Following this request, all the Ekiti Obas had to meet at Otun under the leadership of Oore to plan their strategies for the war. It was formed around the fifteenth century. With the creation of the Ekiti Native Authority (Ekiti Division) at Ado-Ekiti in January 1913, and Akure becoming the provincial centre, and correspondingly with its growth in size and status, the pre-eminence of the Oore and the prominence of the Ewi were gradually resolved politically.
