No it doesn't. Pakistan means "Land of the Clean" not "Land of the Pure" however that is not the meaning of the country of Pakistan. The name was derived by Chaudhary Rahmat Ali as an acronym. He was a student at Cambridge University. PAKISTAN stands for: Punjab, Afghania [North-West Frontier Province], Kashmir, Iran , Sindh, Tukharistan, Afghanistan, and BalochistaN
