Historians do not have a special name for the western part of the Roman Empire. Sometimes they call it western part of the Roman Empire and sometimes Western Roman Empire. They have a special name for the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part: Byzantine Empire.
The Eastern Roman Empire was not affected by the Germanic invasions which precipitated the fall of the west. The Eastern Roman Empire continued to exist for another 1000 years, even though it lost many of its territories to Arab, Slav and Turkish invaders over the centuries. Historian call the Eastern Roman Empire after the fall of the Western Roman Empire the Byzantine Empire.
Byzantine empire. This term applies to the Eastern Roman Empire after the fall of the Western Roman Empire and reflects the fact that this empire gradually became centred on Greece and Greek culture. In 620 Greek replaced Latin as the official language of this empire. The term Byzantine is derived from Byzantium the name of the Greek city which was turned into the capital of the east by Constantine I and renamed by him Roma Nova, but called Constantinople by the people.

The fall of the western part of the Roman Empire has nothing to do with democratic values. It fell under the strain of the invasions by germanic peoples who took over the empire and formed a number of separate kingdoms. The eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for another 1,000 years. Historians call the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part Byzantine Empire.
The Western Roman Empire fell in 476 AD, while the Eastern Roman Empire fell in 1453 AD, almost a thousand years later. That's not what I call 'shortly'...
The period after the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire is the Middle Ages. It is divided into Early Middle Ages (5th to 10th century) High Middle Ages (1001 to 1300) and Late Middle Ages (1300 to 1500). The eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by the invasions by Germanic peoples which caused the western part of the Roman Empire to fall and continued to exist until 1453. Historians call the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part Byzantine Empire.
Charlemagne did not help the Romans. He was around some 300 years after the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire. He helped the pope, who made him emperor of the Romans. Charlemagne created his own empire, which historians call Carolingian Empire, but was given the title of emperor of the Romans to symbolise the independence of western Europe and the papacy from the empire of the eastern Romans (also called Byzantines by historians). The eastern part of the Roman empire continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years after the fall of the western part of this empire. The eastern Roman emperors had been claiming of sovereignty over the city of Rome and the papacy.
