Ògún is a Nigerian name referring to Ògún Lákáayé, the deity of iron, war, hunting and metallurgy in the Yoruba religion. It is a male name of one of the Yoruba Oriṣa(s). The name Ògún is a distinctive and powerful name and primarily used among the families of Ògún devotees, or from families whose professions stem from hunting, warfare, metallurgy and metalworking. The diminutive forms are many, as Ògún serves as a prefix in any names originating from the Ògún worship lineage such as Ògúndayọ, Ògúnṣẹyẹ, Ògúnfẹmi, Ògúnṣọla, Ògúntade, Ògúnyẹmi, Ògúntomi, etc.
