Etymology
Constantinople in the council's title comes from the same parts: Constantine + Greek polis 'city', because the important church meeting was held there. So the Council of Constantinople simply means the church 'meeting' that took place in Constantine's city and helped change the Nicene Creed about the Holy Spirit.
