Why do many countries in Asia end with -stan?
"Stan" in several Middle and Near Eastern languages means "land," and "i" or "e" before the letters "stan" originated as a possessive marker in Farsi (Persian / Iranian language) which is the equivalent of English apostrophe "s" and shows "belonging to" or use of the preposition "of" indicating ownership -- or in this case, "a place of, or belonging to...".
Thus, "Afghanistan" simply means "Land of the Afghans," "Uzbekistan" translates as "Land of the Uzbeks," and so on. "Pakistan" is a bit fancier, meaning "Land of the Pure." There are eight countries ending in "stan": Afghanistan, Dagestan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. Additionally there are a number of ethnic regions, internally and surrounding Iran, which are not independent countries also carrying the "stan" ending: Kurdistan, Baluchistan (Balochistan?), Luristan (Loristan?), Gilakistan, Mazandaranistan, etc.
