The word "Afghan" is of Persian origin and refers to the Pashtun people. The word was first attested in the fourth century CE, most likely a compound of *apāka- (“distant, faraway”) and *-āna (“ethnic group”). Some scholars suggest that the word "Afghan" is derived from the words awajan/apajan in Avestan and ava-Han/apa-Han in Sanskrit, which means "killing, striking, throwing and resisting, or defending"
Afghan names are often derived from religious, tribal, or historical affiliations. First names may signify the time or place that the child was born in conjunction with the Islamic calendar. For example, a boy named Eid Mohammad JAGHORI was likely born on the last day of Ramadan (Eid) in the district of Jaghori
