From the book “Sri Vraja-maṇḍala-parikramā”:
The hills of Ādi-badrī ascend from Ālīpura. Previously, this village was also named Ādi-badrī, but the Muslims changed it to Ālīpura, just as they converted the names of Ayodhyā to Faizābād, Vṛndāvana to Fakīrābād, Mathurā to Mamīnābād and Prayāga to Allāhābād.

From the book “Chaurasi-kosa Vraja Mandala Parikrama”:
This village was formerly known as Adibadri Grama, but during the Mughal rule it was changed to Alipura. This is the place where the Himalayas of Vraja referred to as the Adi-Badri mountain range, begin to rise and these mountains also mark the gateway to Adi-Badrinatha, which lies just one kilometer to the south.
