Frangistan () was a term used by Easterners and Persians in particular, during the Middle Ages and later historical periods to refer to Western or Latin Europe.
Frangistan literally means "Land of the Franks", from Farang, which is the Persianized form of Frank, plus the suffix -stan coming from the Persian language and meaning "place of", "place abounding in". During the Crusades, Easterners came to call the invading Western (Latin) Christians Franks, originally the name for inhabitants of the largest of the Latin Christian realms in Europe, Francia, which gave its name to the Kingdom of France (although its eastern parts came to be known as the Holy Roman Empire).
