Abstract
The name ΒυζἀντιΟν is probably Illyrian from Buzas with the suffix -io-; Νϵ΄α Ῥώμη was an official name (4th century); Κωνσταντί 03BD;Ου πόλις and ἡ Κωνσταντί 03BD;Ου are not common, while Κωνσταντι 03BD;ΟύπΟλις is the written name and Πόλις the common name of the world capital. The last name came through ellipsis of Κωνσταντί 03BD;Ου, just as ἡ Κωνσταντί 03BD;Ου by ellipsis of πόλις. The Turkish name Stambul came from (ϵἰ)ς τὴν Πόλις. Details of these names are discussed.
