Etymology

() The name Istanbul was given to the city of Constantinople after the Fall of Constantinople in 1453. The word is a bastardization of the Byzantine Greek phrase εἰς τὴν Πόλιν (eis tēn Polin, “ to the City”), which is how Constantinople was referred to by the local Greeks. The Turks sometimes ascribe the etymology of Istanbul to the phrase Islam bol (“plenty of Islam” or possibly “city of Islam”), as the Byzantine Greek word for city πόλις (pólis) has been adopted into Turkish as -bolu.
