The term is basically a western fabrication first time introduced in late 16th century and heavily used in 18th and mainly 19th centuries (till today of course).
So, why that??? Why do think the WEST chose this term ?

The etymology of Byzantion is unknown. It has been suggested that the name is of Thraco-Illyrian origin.[1] It may be derived from the Thracian or Illyrian personal name Byzas.[2] Ancient Greek legend refers to King Byzas, the leader of the Megarian colonists and founder of the city.[3] The form Byzantium is a latinisation of the original name

When Emperor Diocletian divided the Roman Empire into his tetrachy (rule by four), Byzantium fell into the eastern half, ruled by Diocletian. The Emperor Constantine came into power in the western half in 312 AD and would soon reunite the empire when he defeated Licinius at the Battle of Chrysopolis in 324 AD. He would build his new capital on the site of ancient Byzantium, New Rome; it would become the cultural and economic center of the east. Upon Constantine’s death in 337 CE, the city would be renamed Constantinople in his honor. Although the city maintained it role as an important part of the Byzantine Empire, it would be invaded and captured by the Ottoman Turks In 1453. For further information refer to the definition on Constantinople.
.....both Illyrian

The fact is that the "Byzantine Empire" was first introduced by a SAXAN in 1600 AD.
Locals between 300 AD -> 1700++ AD had no freaking clue of the term.
Then after 1700, 1800 it becomes a norm.
So the natural question is WHY THE FUNK DID THE WESTIES CHOSE THIS TERM??
We called ourselves ROMIOI.
Our central land was called : RUMELI.
The land east of Instabul : ROMANIA
Til the 1960's we had songs : Romios agapise Romia, Romia kai Salonika : a Greek man fell in love with a Greek woman, from Solun....
WTF?
HELLENES?? ELLADA?? WTF? BYZANTINE? WTF???
WTF do they change our name???

In Old Church Slavonic it was read like Солѹнь (in Latin Sal(o)unj), with silent O, which is why I put in parenthesis. Also O in Solun was read like A, thats why Salounj.
