The name D-day was not just used for the invasion of Normandy it is used as a general term in the military as an important moment or the time of a important operation.

So, they called it D-day because it was a focal point in the war and whether they succeeded or failed was very important to the rest of the world.

As for the land that just simply means they landed(arrived) on the beaches of Normandy that day.
