The name of the group derives from the fact that nearly all of the ethnic groups who speak member languages refer to the city of Ilé Ifè as their place of origin: "Defoid" comes from èdè ('language') + ifè (Ife) + oid. The Defoid language group consists of two branches, Yoruboid and Akoko, which though related are now recognised as not being closer to each other than they are to Igboid and Edoid; the acronym {{sc|yeai}} is used provisionally for all four families.
