Nok Kundi, meaning "the blunt point," is a township and region located in western Balochistan, Pakistan. Historically, the area was known as Dzaranga, meaning "water-producing land," which the Greeks Hellenised to Drangiana in their literature.[citation needed] The original term, "Zaranka," translates to "watermill" or "spring," and is found in both old Balochi and Persian, referring to the region as "Waterland."[citation needed]
