    In 31 years I never heard anybody calling it Constantinopole in Romania

    No one calls it Tsarigrad in Russia. It’s “Stambul” in Russian

  3. The ironic part is that it got the name Istanbul because locals would just call it „i Polis“ (the city). The name Istanbul comes from a corruption of the Greek sentence „is tin Polin“ (to the city)

    Hebrew also has it’s own name for Istanbul “Kushta” but it’s very rarely used today

  8. Istanbul was Constantinople

    Now it’s Istanbul, not Constantinople

    Been a long time gone, Constantinople

    People just liked it better that way

    So take me back to Constantinople

    No, you can’t go back to Constantinople

  9. Old Hebrew texts call it „Kushta“, still see it sometimes

    Constantinople was shortened to „Costa“ and when you write it in Hebrew it can be read as „Kushta“, which means „Truth“ in Aramaic
