The intermediate form Stamboul was commonly used in the 19th century.
Another hypothesis about the etymology of the name is that the name Istanbul comes from the Greek words "eis tin Poli" meaning "at the City" (the City/Polis being Constantinoupolis).

Here, on the site of the Greek city of Byzantium, he built a new capital, which he named after himself, 'Constantinoupolis'.
