Kurdistan means country/land of Kurds. It's a geographical area settled by Kurdish people.
The suffix –stan is Persian for ‘place of/land of’ and -sthan is related Sanskrit suffix with the same meaning.
They appear in the names of many countries and regions, especially in Central Asia and Indian subcontinent.

Kurdistan is the name of a geographic and cultural region in the Middle East, inhabited predominantly by the Kurds.
As a traditional ethnographic region, Kurdistan is generally held to include the contiguous regions in northern and northeastern Mesopotamia with large Kurdish populations. From a political standpoint, Iraqi Kurdistan is the only region which has gained an official recognition as a federal entity.
Cheers.

It is your native land my dear, which can be in Turkey or Iraq or Iran, because there is no unified state named Kurdistan yet. Who knows, maybe once you will succeed to create a new state named Kurdistan. Only God knows.
