When Guru ji crossed village akarh and reached the outskirts there was a Neem tree there. Nearer to the neem tree there was a small pond which have pure water. Guru jee watched the lonely place and stopped there and break the Datan from tree. There was a small tibba there from where a gursikh tarkhan comes out and did selfless service of guru ji.

But nobody came to see guru ji. Followers returned back and told guru jee that people were so rude here and nobody want to come. Then guru jee asked very politely that people here have ego(Akarh). Followers says that these people are egoistic and will egoisitic. Then this village got the name Aakarh.
