Actually the pure form is sthan. sthan is a sanskrit word which means a place.
It got watered down to stan. the real root word is sthan. South Indian languages are closer to sanskrit. That is why Sthan. HINDU-STHAN = place of HINDUS. Now they call it HINDUSTAN. And by the way, the word Hindu and Hindustan was not given by invading persians as wrongly thought by many erring historians and others. The word Hind predates islam and is available in many scriptures.
