Yeah, that is what I think too!
Ohalland could be famous because he was a blitz player that turned into a summoner, a surprising thing for a celebrity to do: give his life for others

Here on US, Pat Tillman was but one soldier among many but his name and his life stay with us for the same reason: surprising courage and dedication from someone so rich and famous.

Gandorf could be famous because of the huge battle that created the Calm Lands Gorge

Braska because he was the most recent Summoner

Yokum ? Maybe because she was a crusader, i.e. not a monk

The longest Sin killing spree is the 600 years between Yunaleska and Gandorf.

I suppose Yu Yevon could take longer at his first try at rebuilding Sin (but then, how did he build Sin so quickly ?). And it could have taken one or two centuries for Sin to kill the population of a planet with millions of people (like ours) reducing their numbers to the few small cities we see on Yuna's Spira.. Centuries of killing would also make Sin pretty unforgettable and Yevon's Church pretty powerful.

Still, 600 years is a long time for a killing machine like Sin to be running loose around the planet. IMHO any population would be extinct.
