Editing Fall of Constantinople (section)

===Renaming of the city===
<!--Linked from infobox above-->
Ottomans used the Arabic transliteration of the city's name "Qosṭanṭīniyye" (القسطنطينية) or "Kostantiniyye", as can be seen in numerous Ottoman documents. ''Islambol'' ({{lang|ota|اسلامبول}}, ''Full of Islam'') or ''Islambul'' (''find Islam'') or ''Islam(b)ol'' (''old [[Turkic languages|Turkic]]: be Islam''), both in [[Turkish language|Turkish]], were [[folk etymology|folk-etymological]] adaptations of ''Istanbul'' created after the Ottoman conquest of 1453 to express the city's new role as the capital of the Islamic Ottoman Empire. It is first attested shortly after the conquest, and its invention was ascribed by some contemporary writers to [[Mehmed II]] himself.<ref name= "istanbulunadlari" />

The [[Names of Istanbul|name of Istanbul]] is thought to be derived from the Greek phrase ''īs tīmbolī(n)'' ({{langx|el|εἰς τὴν πόλιν}}, [[transliteration|translit.]] ''eis tēn pólin'', "to the City"), and it is claimed that it had already spread among the Turkish populace of the Ottoman Empire before the conquest. However, Istanbul only became the official name of the city in 1930 by the revised Turkish Postal Law.<ref name="ZooPt" /><ref name= "DwbQb" /><ref name="YEruk" />
