It probably means land or doesn’t mean anything. This is because different countries with different languages and varying cultures end with ‘istan.’ Your question has some examples.

It means “land of”. So for example, Afghanistan literally means “land of Afghans”

Anytime you see -stan at the end of a word it refers to
place of.
for instance place Of Pak = place of Pure.
or place of Afghan.
It is a persian prefix.
