The modern Turkish name İstanbul (pronounced [isˈtanbuɫ]) (Ottoman Turkish: استانبول) is attested (in a range of variants) since the 10th century, at first in Armenian and Arabic (without the initial İ-) and then in Turkish sources. It derives from the Greek phrase "στην Πόλη" " [stimˈboli], meaning "in the city" or "to the city", reinterpreted as a single word;[12][13] a similar case is Stimboli, Crete.[14] It is thus based on the common Greek usage of referring to Constantinople simply as The City (see above).
Също народно име като Цариград, но което никога не става официално. Официалното до 1930та е Константинопол.
