	The name '''Pakistan''' (<small>English pronunciation:</small> {{IPAc-en\|audio=En-us-Pakistan.ogg\|ˈ\|p\|æ\|k\|ᵻ\|s\|t\|æ\|n}} or {{IPAc-en\|audio=En-us-Pakistan-2.ogg\|p\|ɑː\|k\|i\|ˈ\|s\|t\|ɑː\|n}}; {{lang-ur\|پاکستان}}  {{IPA\|[paːkɪˈst̪aːn]}}) means ''[[-stan\|Land of]] (the) Spiritually Pure'' in both [[Urdu]] and [[Persian language\|Persian]] languages. Many [[South-central Asia]]n states and regions end with the element -''stan,'' such as ''Afghanistan,'' ''Pakistan,'' ''Balochistan,'' ''Kurdistan,'' and ''Turkistan.'' This -''stan'' is formed from the Iranian root *STA "to stand, stay," and means "place (where one stays), home, country". Iranian peoples have been the main inhabitants of the various land regions of the Ancient [[Persian Empire]]s now owned by the states for over a thousand years. The names are compounds of -''[[-stan\|stan]]'' and the name of the peoples living there. Pakistan is a bit different; its name was coined on 28 January 1933 as ''{{sic\|Pak\|stan\|hide=y}}'' by [[Choudhary Rahmat Ali]], a [[Pakistan Movement]] activist, who published it in his paper ''[[Pakistan Declaration\|Now or Never]]''.<ref name="nowornever">{{cite web\|url=http://www.columbia.edu/itc/mealac/pritchett/00islamlinks/txt_rahmatali_1933.html\|title=Now or never: Are we to live or perish for ever?\|author=Choudhary Rahmat Ali\|publisher=Columbia University\|date=28 January 1933\|accessdate=4 December 2007}}</ref> by using the suffix -''istan'' from ''Baloch''istan preceded by the first letters of ''P''unjab, ''A''fghania, ''K''ashmir and ''S''indh.
