The names Sindostan(a) come from the name Sind, the Hundustani/Bennari name for the inhabitants of the central and southwestern area of the country (-stan means "land of"). When the Cymbranians arrive, they mispronounced Sindostan as Hindustan and the name has stuck in English ever since. The country is also more formally referred to in Hindustani as Pratya Janaga, a term which means "place of the believers".
