The name of Israel comes from Jacob son of Isaac and grandson of Abraham, Jacob is another word or name for Israel. Jacob had 12 sons and those 12 sons represent the 12 tribes of Israel, in other words the nation of Israel started with the birth of Jacob and the promise that God (YHWH) made to Abraham. In time the Jews invaded the land of canaan wich wasn't a nation it was just a region with different civilizations scattered all around it after they defeated all these civilizations they established in the region and then Israel as a nation was born, so you can say that the first nation established in the canaan region was Israel wich then was divided in two kingdoms, in the north side was the kingdom of Israel and in the south side was the kingdom of Juda wich made the nation of Israel.
The word itself derives from Hebrew "yisra'el", meaning he that strives with God.
