Istanbul has had several previous names throughout its history. Originally known as Byzantium, it was later renamed Constantinople after Emperor Constantine the Great made it the capital of the Roman Empire in 330 AD. The city was officially renamed Istanbul in 1930, following the establishment of the Republic of Turkey. Each name reflects different cultural and political influences over the centuries.
