Constantinople was given the titles of "the new, second New Rome," "Alma Roma", "Eastern Rome" and "Roma Constantinopolitana."
There are two problems. First, Constantinople is a city. Second, it is no longer called Constantinople; it is Istanbul. As the song goes, "If you have a date in Constantinople, you will find her in Istanbul."
constantinople was named after constantine who was an emperor. Also constantinople was the new capital and that is why he decided to name it after himself.
No one damaged Constantinople to Istanbul.As it was conquered and overrun the new rulers changed the name.
Constantinople is now known as Istanbul.
The former name of Istanbul is: Constantinople Before is was renamed Constantinople (in honor of the Roman emperor Constantine, this city was called Byzantium and New Rome).
When the Emperor Constantine the Great moved the capital of the Roman Empire, from Rome to the Ancient Greek city of Byzantium, in 330 AD, he renamed it Constantinople (city of Constantine) and made it the new capital of the Roman Empire. Because there could not be two capital cities with the same name, he called Constantinople the New Rome (Nova Roma).
This is a matter of discussion among some historians. Some say that Constantine called it New Rome, but people called it Constantinople in his honour and the name stuck. Others argue that he called it Constantinople and New Rome was one of the honorific tiles given to the city, such as the Eastern Rome, the Second Rome, Alma Mater, etc.
Before Constantinople was eventually named, it had been called the "New Rome" by Constantine himself. Prior to that, it used to be known as "Augusta Antonina" named after the wife of Roman emperor Septimus Severius. And before that, it was "Byzantium", meaning the city of Byzas.
