        This just not true! Istanbul was known as, well, Istanbul, for centuries. My place (former ottoman province of Macedonia) it was called Stambol, short from Istanbul, since like forever. It was also called Carigrad (Cars (tzars) city). When I capture it in Civ, I always rename it Carigrad

            Sinice Istanbul is simply Turkish for Constantinople, I would imagine that the Turks first started calling it that when they first encountered the city.

                  Do you remember Spaniards successfully assimilating Indians before changing names?

                    We Americans would never do that.
