how was the name pakistan derived ?

Question

wht is the meaning of the word pakistan

Answer 1

Pakistan is a bit of an exception; its name was coined in 1933 using the suffix –istan from Baluchistan preceded by the initial letters of Punjab, Afghanistan, and Kashmir. • Interestingly, a word almost identical in form, etymology, and meaning to the Iranian suffix –stan is found in Polish, which has a word stan meaning “state” (in the senses of both polity and condition).

Answer 2

Pak was derived from the word Pork and stan means land. That really what Porkistan means a land of Pigs.
