The country whose name is formed from the first letters of its provinces is Pakistan. The name comes from a combination of letters taken from Punjab, Afghania (former name for the Afghan regions), Kashmir, Sindh, and Baluchistan. This etymology reflects the regions that were envisioned as part of the country when it was founded in 1947.
