@ sarfaraz, yes chishti is not name of Allah rather its due to a place chisht, which at that time was perhaps in persia but now in Afghanistan. Reported founder of this silsila Khawaja Abu Ishaq Shami had settled at chisht and forwarded his teachings from there so the followers used word chishti with their name.

In Indian subcontinent the chishtia silsila was founded/propogated by Hazrat Khwaja Mohiun-ud-din Chishti Ajmeri Gharib Nawaz r.a. He was also born at Chisht but later came to India and settled at Ajmer. Some says that Khwaja sb r.a. came to Ajmer alongwith Sultan Shahab-ud-Din Mohammad Ghauri while other says that Khwaja sb r.a. was already at Ajmer and after defeat of Sultan at first war of Tarin, the Sultan had dreamt of a buzurg who asked him to not sit idle and retry to launch an offense. So at very next year he came again and fought with Pirthavi Raj and won the battle! It is said that the buzurg was Khwaja sb r.a.. God knows better.

Regards
