The root word is Persian. Middle Persian to be exact. pistakē.

Pistachios are native to Iran, parts of Afghanistan, and a spattering of other middle eastern countries.

Commercial production mostly came out of Iran until the 1970s, when changes to the US tax code made growing for production favorable, then the Iranian Revolution hit and US production took off.
