Regarding the Land:
At any time when Israel's people have lived in the land and had control of their own lives, the land has always been called "Israel."
(In the Second Temple era the constraint of exile caused the people to refer to the land as Judah, since most of the tribes had been exiled and no longer dwelt in the land.)
Regarding the Person:
God changed Jacob's name to Israel (Genesis ch.35) as a sign of honor, signifying Jacob's victory over all those who would contend against him (ibid).
