Meaning of -(i)StanThis simply means 'land, country (of)'.

'Stan' is a word of Persian Language - which means 'Land' or 'place'. Pakistan means a Stan which is pak (pure).

Stan is derived from Sanskrit word sthāna (pronounced [st̪ʰaːna]) (स्थान in theDevanāgarī script), a cognate Sanskrit suffix meaning "a place/land". For eg . Afghanistan was called ashav(horse in sanskrit)-ghan(minders/tamers)-sthana meaning land of the horse tamers..
