Such as Afghanistan means 'land of the Afghans'. Uzbekistan, land of the Uzbeks, Hindustan, land of the Hindus, my family calls the Middle East, Arabestan, land of the Arabs, Pakistan, 'land of the pure'

"Stan" means land.
Its been long part of the persian/sanskrit/aryan vocabulary long before islam. It is from the times of zoroastrianism.
Stan does not equal a muslim country/state.
Like I said, "Stan" is a word from Pre-Islamic times and Pre-Islamic people.

Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Uzbekistan have at least one thing in common. They all end with the suffix "-istan." What does it mean?

Istan is a Persian word that means "land." Seven countries in the world end with "-istan" or "-stan": Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. Similarly, in English, many countries end with the suffix "-land" (England, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, and Ireland, for example).

"stan" is found in Indo-Iranian languages, and the modern usage of the word for Muslim countries comes from Persian or some Iranian language.

"Stan" or something similar is also a Sanskrit word with an identical or similar meaning to the Persian word.

word
sanskrit and old avestan (old school farsi) are nearly identical.
When the aryans split up, one group of aryans went to iran and thats where you got farsi. The other group went to the subcontinent and thats where you got sanskrit.

"-stan" is an etymological thing, not a religious thing. It just happens that the majority of people who natively speak the languages that use the suffix, "-stan," practice Islam today. By the way, the majority of people of Rajasthan are non-Muslims.

If you want to be specific,

First they travelled to Syria, and possibly India around the same time, and then Iran last, based on all of the evidence.

btw.. the name PAKISTAN has the 4 state's in it, like P for punjab, stan is for the end of belochistan, i don't member the rest but i knwo that why we got it
Noooo, Pakistan comes from the word 'Pakka' which means complete, or pure, in reference to the Islamic Republic. The Islam followed in Pakistan according to the leaders who created Pakistan is supposed to mean the land of the Pure, where Islam is followed purely. The explanation you gave is actually a newer innovation when some guy probably thought, 'hey this is pretty cool, it all adds up' and there you have it.

'Pakistan' is both a Persian and an Urdu word. It is composed of letters taken from the names of all our homelands- 'Indian' and 'Asian', that is -P-jab, A-Afghania (North- West Frontier Province), K-Kashmir, I-Iran, S-Sindh (including Kachch and Kathiawar), T-Tukharistan, Afghanistan and BaluchistaN

It is the remainder of the empires or something

yea i know dude all TAN countriez are muslims, its symbol of a muslim country obviously
"-stan" has NOTHING to do with Islam. It's all a coincidence. Most Muslim countries don't end in "-stan."

Why are you getting so mad about that issue? What is wrong if we sikhs dont like you hindus? If we want to get a new country, then let us...
Wow you actually think Khalistan would be a successful country please :hand: your country won't be economically stable living on farming alone... think about the condition India is in. What makes you think Khalistan would be able to succeed it's the stupidest idea I've ever heard.
