Waziristan is Derived from the word Wazir ("Land of the Wazir") or “Land of Ministers” or “Loya Jirgas” respectively. Qabāilistān (Pashto: قبايلستان; Urdu: قبائیلستان) ("Land of Tribals") was a name proposed for a new province in Pakistan which would have contained the areas formerly part of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). However, the proposal was dropped in favor of merging the tribal areas into the North-West Frontier Province, becoming Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.[1][2][3]
