Etymology
From Byzantine GreekΣκουτάριον(Skoutárion), perhaps from Latinscūtārium, accusative of scūtārius(“guard armed with a shield”); however, Nishanyan does not rule out a derivation from Persian(üsküdâr, “messenger station”). This city was originally called Χρῡσόπολῐς(Khrūsópolis) by the Ancient Greeks, a compound of χρῡσός(khrūsós, “gold”) + πόλις(pólis, “city”).
