“Stan by your man”?
No, nor is it the suffix, "-stan"
From Worldatlas.com:
Numerous countries in Central Asia have a name that ends in "stan," including:
* *Afghanistan
* Kazakhstan
* Kyrgyzstan
* Pakistan
* Tajikistan
* Turkmenistan
* Uzbekistan
*
As a generally accepted explanation, the suffix /"stan"/ is an ancient Persian and/or Farsi word meaning /country,
nation, land, or place of,/ so, the country name of Afghanistan would then mean /"homeland"/ of the Afghans, or /place
of/ the Afghans.
