Why does the stan in the flowing counties mean?

Question

pakistan,ubekistan,afghanistan.

Answer 1

"Stan" in several Middle and Near Eastern languages means "land," so "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."

The suffix -stan is formed from the old Iranian root *sta- "to stand, stay" (related to English "stand" and "stay") and means "place where one stays," i.e. homeland or country.

i.e. Afghanistan - Home of Afghans, Uzbekistan - Home of the Uzbeki
