Judea was the Roman name for the former inland state of Judah, that formed part of the Levant, or Palestine. It was never renamed Philistia, which was formerly the coastal area occupied by the Philistines.
By the first century, the Romans had fragmented the Levant into a number of territories under formal or informal Roman control. These included Idumea, Judea, Samaria, Galilee, Phoenicea and the Decapolis. The boundaries varied from time to time purely according to Roman administative convenience, sometimes regardless of historical precedent or which ethnic group occupied the territories concerned.
After the Second Jewish War of 132-136 CE, the Romans renamed Judea as Syria Palaestina - not Philistia.

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.
