hmmm....i think "indraprasta" was the older name of delhi. But am not clear whether the name changed or not, during the period of akbar.

I am not exactly sure but I remember the media (in India) addressing Delhi as "HASTHINA". Is that what you are looking for ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Delhi#Early_history shows that the city was called Delhi (or Dilli) at least since the 12/13th century.
Therefore, when Akbar assumed throne in 1556, the city would have been called Delhi.
There are however more concrete sources than this simple extrapolation. Humayun Nama refers to the city as Delhi. You can read it here.
