Ólafur OR Olav,
or Olof or Olaf, it doesn't matter, all those are just variants on the same name. Ólafur are an Icelandic variant, Olav are Scandinavians ditto.

"Ynglinga och Skilfingätten", both are correct but most correct would be to use the suffix " Ynglingaätten d.y".

The family of Ynglinga, the younger, (Yr.).

What's the basis of "Skiflingaätten"? I can't place that reference offhand.
The Ynglings are more well known (the descendants of Ynvgve-Frøy).
