- Afghan_(ethnonym) abstract "The ethnonym Afghan (افغان afġān) has been used in reference to Pashtuns. The name Afghanistan (افغانستان afġānistān; Afghan + -stan) is a derivation from the ethnonym Afghan, originally in the loose meaning "land of the Afghans" and referred to the Pashtun tribal areas south of the Hindu Kush.In the 3rd century, the Sassanids mention a tribe called Abgân, which is attested in its Arabic form (Afġān) in the 10th century Ḥudūd al-ʿĀlam. It probably derives from a Sanskritic tribal name, Aśvaka, used in reference to the Kambojas in antiquity.[citation needed] The Arabic Afġān is an adaptation of the Prakritic form अवगाना (Avagānā), as used by Varahamihira in his Bṛhat Saṃhitā in 6th century.[citation needed] Since the Middle Ages, the term Afghan has been used by historians as a synonym for Pashtun.After the rise of the Hotaki and Durrani dynasties in the 18th century, "Afghan" gradually applied to all citizens of the Afghan Empire. During the 19th century Anglo-Afghan wars, the British generally referred to all inhabitants of the empire as Afghans. Since the early 20th century, "Afghan" officially refers to every citizen of the state of Afghanistan, regardless which ethnic group the individual belongs to.".
