No Basicaly, the word khaki is a word of farsi, which is the national language of Iran

It come from a Hindi word meaning "Dusty" Hence the color of most military uniforms, they blend so well with the ground.

Both Websters and the Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Etymology (origin of words) define Khaki as Indian; it is the Hindi and Urdu word for dust or dusty. The word is derived from and a modification of the Persian (Farsi) Kak or Khak, meaning dust(y). Farsi is the language spoken in Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and others.
