Most churches are in this index under several different names.

There is a good deal of argument over which Byzantine church has which name. I usually use the most recent name as it is the most consistently likely to be a name that was actually applied to that building. Records of churches were sketchy and most have been lost. Most churches have been rededicated at some stage of their existence so have had two or more names. Then after 1453, most churches become mosques and hence gained more new names. Many churches have been lost completely, then found again by recent excavation. Scholars then dig and interpret, trying to match inscriptions and locations with ancient reports by unreliable travellers of churches that might have existed once.
