England does not have another name.
England is one of three countries (the other two being Wales and Scotland) that make up the island called Great Britain. Great Britain and part of the north of the island of Ireland, known as Northern Ireland, make up the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Incidentally, Great Britain is not called 'Great' because it is a powerful or wonderful country (even though it IS a wonderful country!). It was originally called 'Great' Britain to differentiate it from simply 'Britain' on the north coast of France when that area was owned by the British. Nowadays that area is still called 'Bretagne' by the French - or, in English, 'Britanny'. Here, as well as speaking French, they also speak Breton, an ancient language similar to Cornish or Welsh as spoken in Great Britain (in Cornwall and Wales).
Americans often call Great Britain or the United Kingdom 'England' but this is incorrect and a bit of an insult to the Welsh and Scottish.
The 'British Isles' consist of Great Britain, Northern Ireland, the independent Republic of Ireland and many other islands in the area including the Channel Islands and Man.
