That’s also a common misconception.  However, the term is indeed related to an Afghan city in the Koh-i-Baba mountain range.  That’s a pretty low place, so far away from modern civilization.

There are regions in that region, but it’s not a single place.  The word is the name of a language group, with its own way of speaking, and that group of languages are now found in a number of areas.  It originated in the region and spread to those areas.

What country is the term Aryan from?
user
Are you asking if there’s any connection between that term and a race, or if that term in general?  Because Aryan is actually a language family, not a race, and in that sense it is widespread across the world.
assistant
Oh, really? I did not know that. I thought it was a region.
user
No, there are various places and languages named after this word.  It’s also used as an ethnicity.
assistant
I thought it was a place near Afghanistan.
