Pakistan is an acronym
Here’s an interesting tidbit:
Recently Saugata noted that the name “Pakistan” is in fact an acronym:
In a 1933 pamphlet Choudhary Rahmat Ali, a Cambridge student, coined the name Pakstan (later Pakistan), on behalf of those Muslims living in Punjab, Afghan (North-West Frontier Province), Kashmir, Sind, and Balochistan. Alternatively the name was said to mean “Land of the Pure.”
