Best Answer

Akbar named his eldest son Salim (later known as Jahangir) after the Sufi Saint Shaikh Salim Chishti. Akbar went to this Sufi Saint seeking a male heir to his throne. Sufi blessed Akbar and soon the first of his three sons born. Hence he named after his eldest son in honor of Salim Chishti.
