Was Istanbul renamed Constantinople by the Ottomans?
Constantinople was named by Roman Emperor Constantine after himself in 330AD. The Turks hated the name, likely because Constantine was the first Christian emperor of Rome. Istanbul was the common name for the city in normal speech in Turkish even since before the Ottoman conquest of 1453, but in official use by the Ottoman authorities, other names such as Constantinople were preferred in certain contexts. After the creation of the Turkish Republic in 1923, the various alternative names besides Istanbul became obsolete in the Turkish language. With the Turkish Postal Service Law of March 28, 1930, the Turkish authorities officially requested foreigners to cease referring to the city with their traditional non-Turkish names (such as Constantinople, Tsarigrad, etc.) and to adopt Istanbul as the sole name also in their own languages. Letters or packages sent to "Constantinople" instead of "Istanbul" were no longer delivered by Turkey's PTT, which contributed to the eventual worldwide adoption of the new name.

The west had already fallen more than 1000 years earlier. Also note that the city of Rome itself had never been conquered by anyone. The Ottomans conquered the Middle East and North Africa. On the European shores of the Mediterranean they only took over Greece and Albania. Apart form this, Mediterranean Europe was not reached by the Ottomans.
