С чего Вы взяли, что Константинополь означает вечный город? Это просто город Константина. А это имя от латинского адъективировавшегося причастия constans "firm, unchangeable, constant, immovable, uniform, steady, fixed, stable, invariable, regular, persistent" от глагола consto "to agree, accord, be consistent, correspond, fit".
