Etymology
Kyrgyzstan comes from the people called the Kyrgyz and the Persian ending -stan, which means 'land', as in Pakistan. A helpful way to remember it is that Kyrgyz may come from a word for 'forty' and a story about 'forty tribes' joining together, so Kyrgyzstan is the 'land of the Kyrgyz' or the 'land of the forty'.
