Constantinople (Greek: Κωνσταντινούπολη, Konstantinoúpoli, or Πόλη, Póli, Constantinoupolis) was the capital of the Roman Empire between 330 and 395, the Byzantine Empire between 395 and 1453, and the Ottoman Empire between 1453 and 1923. It was officially renamed to its modern Turkish name Istanbul in 1930[1][2][3] as part of Atatürk's Turkish national reforms. Strategically located between the Golden Horn and the Sea of Marmara at the point where Europe meets Asia, Constantinople was extremely important as the successor to ancient Rome and the largest and wealthiest city in Europe throughout the Middle Ages; it was known as the Queen of Cities (Vasileousa Polis).
The city had many names throughout history. Depending on the background of its rulers, it often had several different names at any given time; among the most common were Byzantium, New Rome (Nova Roma), Constantinople and Stamboul (see etymology).

Turkey. Constantinople was the first name of the city under Byzantium. When Turks occupied the city, they renamed it to Istanbul which actually means the same thing in Greek :
Is = to tin= the poli=city.
