Akbar, who longed for an heir, was assured of sons by the Sufi mystic Salim Chishti. When the son was born, Akbar named him Salim in honor of the Sufi saint. Salim later came to be known as Jahangir after he ascended the throne. Following his military victories in Rajasthan, Akbar decided to build a new capital and chose Sikri village, where the Sufi saint used to live. The city was christened Fatehabad, Fateh meaning victory. It later came to be known as Fatehpur Sikri.
