| Posted by DeltaCabinDweller on 02/03/13 at 11:33 AM I really liked the name Constantinople, but im sure there was a very good reason for renaming it. No matter what name it is a beautiful place and I believe the people are as nice as they are beautiful. |

| Posted by BUZDIGAR on 03/26/10 at 10:59 PM Byzantium is the first known name of the city. In 667 B.C., this Doric colony was founded by settlers from the city-state of Megara, and they named the colony after their king Byzas.[9] After Roman emperor Constantine I (Constantine the Great) made the city the new eastern capital of the Roman Empire on 11 May 330, the city became widely known as Constantinopolis (the Latinised form of "Κωνσταντινούπολις" [Kōnstantinoúpolis] which means the "City of Constantine" in Greek)

| Posted by BUZDIGAR on 03/26/10 at 10:55 PMThe name comes from the Greek word Bosporos (Βόσπορος).[1] Its etymology is from bous (βοῦς: ox)[2] and poros (πόρος: "means of passing a river, ford, ferry"  ,[3] thus meaning "oxen passage". The similar Ancient Greek word for "passage, strait" is porthmos (πορθμός).[4] The Greeks analysed it as "ox-ford" or "shallow sea ox passage"[1] and associated it with the myth of Io's travels after Zeus turned her into an heifer for her protection.[5] It has also been thought to be a Thracian form of Phôsphoros (Φωσφόρος), "light-bearing", an epithet of the goddess Hecate.
