Vasiliki-Βασιλική

the name doesn't matter.
when it was Greek was Constantinoupole
now is Turkish and is Instabul,
still stays the same place.....
btw Instabul is still from Greek words:
is-tin-polin (to the town) ...so ...for me is the same
a great town,even if WAS greek,even if IS Turkish

We call it İstanbul. You may call what ever you want...


xanthochroi
its so simple why do you say New York city but not New Amsterdam or skopje instead of "uskup" or komotini not "gumulcine" this city has many names it's just one of them actually ottoman empire didnt change this name because Sultan Mehmet the conqueror declared himself as the emperor of eastern romans (like greeks) we've been using "istanbul" as the official name after the creation of the turkish rebublic in 1923 it's changed in 1930 truly

Edit: to vasiliki i have same feelings about one of your cities which is my hometown, the point is we call our turkish city names only in our language Not for international saying

Because that's how the owners of the city, i.e. Turks, choose to call it.

why London and not Londres?


yes_no
Because constantinoupoli
is greek
and Istanbul
is turkish
since Istanbul is in Turkey and not Greece
its Istanbul
besides its kind of obvious its Turkish Land

Why Constantinople and no Byzantium?


black eagle
The origin of Istanbul is "İslam bol" which is "plentiful islam" in Turkish. This is named after the Turks get the city from cristians..
