YES !!

"The suffix -stan (Persian: ـستان‎ -stān) is Persian for "place of"[1] or "country,",[2] ultimately from Indo-Iranian -sthāna, cf. Indo-Aryan -sthāna (sanskrit : स्थान ) (pronounced [st̪ʰaːna]) suffix with a similar meaning. In Indo-Aryan languages, sthāna means "place", and is cognate to the Latin terms state and status (meaning "to stand")."
