There is no definitive answer to that question. It's probable that different people came up with that name. Most likely the first humans that lived there Norsemen or Scandinavians. In icelandic it is called Ãsland or Eylenda. These words have different origins. The first one literally means ice-land and the seconds one island. The s in island was added by confusion with Old French isle, which is not related but is instead from Latin insula.
