Istanbul was called Istanbul in 1929 and for decades prior.

The famous name you are referring to, CONSTANTINOPLE, was used up until the Ottoman conquest of the city in 1453 when the Turkish name "Istanbul" was used. However, Istanbul remained an unofficial name until Atatürk made it official in 1929.
