The name of the territory was not called Israel (as a geographic or regional term) until the arrival of the Modern State of Israel in 1948. Initially it was called Canaan or the Southern Levant. It was then named Judea (after the Southern Israelite Kingdom). After the Jewish Insurrection in 70 CE, the Romans renamed the territory Philistia (after the Philistines) which they could do because they administrated it. The Arabs, Ottomans, and other Türks gave the territory different names as provincial indicators. When the British established a Mandate in the region, they named it "Palestine" deriving from the Roman Philistia. All of residents of the region (regardless of religion or ethnicity) began calling themselves Palestinians.

When was the State of Israel formed out of Palestine?
Israel was declared an independent Jewish State on May 14, 1948. However, the phrasing of the question makes implicit assumptions that must be dealt with. It would seem from the way that the question is written that Palestine was a country and then one day, and was renamed Israel the next day. This is not the case. Palestine was a territorial name in the same way that the Riviera in southwestern Europe is a territorial name. It just happens that some of the Riviera is in France and some in Italy. Israel was a state that declared independence in that territory, which was a British Mandate at the time. There were still areas of Palestine that did not become part of Israel. Most of the Arab Palestinians did not consider Israel to be their state and would later identify with the Palestinian State declared in absentia in 1988 and recognized in the Oslo Accords of 1993.
