Europeans chose to stick to latin names of byzantine cities rather then calling them by there Turkic counter parts. In the 1930s the Turks requested other nations call it by there turkic name, when they have been using the names for centuries before.

Originally it was called Byzantium back in ancient greece, but was renamed Constantinople after Constantine the 1st died, which was in 330 AD. That was the name of the city all the way up until 1930, even though it was unofficially called Istanbul once the Ottoman turks took over.

2024-03-27 02:09:29 +0000 UTCIIRC the official name only became Istanbul once the Ottoman empire disintigrated, which was in 1920 after WW1 and Turkey became it's own country. Up until then it was still called Constantinople.

That said in the holy land most of the troops in the holy land around this time frame were mercenaries "its Istanbul not Constantinople" lol
