Etymology

From Russian Узбекистан (Uzbekistan), itself from Classical Persian اُزْبَکِسْتَان (uzbakistān). Ultimately uncertain; possibly from Turkic uz (“genuine”) + Sogdian [Term?] (/⁠bek⁠/, “master”) (for the second element, see Turkish bey). The suffix is known to be from Classical Persian ـِستان (istān, “place of”). By surface analysis, Uzbek + -i- + -stan.
