He comes from Constantinople - or Istanbul (4)

I believe the answer is:

stan

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'he' is the definition.

'from constantinople or istanbul' is the wordplay.
'STAN' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm uncertain how this is indicated.

'comes' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stan that I've seen before include "guy" , "- Getz, jazz musician" , "Laurel and Hardy, . . . . and Ollie" , "- Laurel, Hardy's partner" , "One of the comic duo" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
