Meaning of "Pakistan"

The name PAKISTAN was derived from Muslim-majority regions:

• P → Punjab 
• A → Afghania (North-West Frontier Province, now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) 
• K → Kashmir 
• S → Sindh 
• TAN → from Baluchistan/Balochistan together with the Persian suffix "-stan" (meaning "land"). 
• Note: Historians explain that "TAN" is not only the suffix "-stan". It also incorporates the ending of Baluchistan. So it is slightly more precise to write:"TAN → from Baluchistan together with the Persian suffix '-stan'."
