Some people would like to change Aa to Å in Aakirkeby, but it has been decided to keep the old spelling, as it has in several other towns in Denmark. An extra "spice" here is that the church tower has two roof tops, and some say it's designed to look like AA.
Aakirkeby could be translated to "Stream Church town", as Å or Aa is a stream. When speaking of the church alone, it is separated into two words: Aa Kirke.
