get your facts right at least, the ottomans conquered Byzantin's capital which was called Constantinople, then they renamed it to istanbul which again is paraphrased and means "at the city" ("εις την πόλη" - "is tin polin" -> istanbul) because then constantinople was usually referred to as 'the city'
