France was named after a Germanic tribe, the "Franks", who settled in Northern France, and whose kings came to preeminence after the fall of the Roman Empire.

In reference to the Franks, a region a few kilometers north of Paris was also named "France". That name is still existing in place names like "Roisssy-en-France". That land was part of the royal domain of the first French kings, who came to extend their domination upon the other French regions.

What is the purpose of Bastille day in France?
Bastille Day commemorates the two events without which there would be no French Republic, and is as such the national day of France.
The first event was the storming of the Bastille jail on July 14, 1789, which historically marks the beginning of the French Revolution.
The second event was the Fête de la Fédération, a more constructive celebration of the union (federation) of the French people against monarchy and toward the founding of the French Republic. This event was attended in Paris by several hundred thousand people and by the deputies of all 85 French departments.
It started on July 14, 1790, on the first anniversary of the storming of the Bastille, and lasted for several days.
The French Republic was later founded on September 21, 1792, but July 14 was deemed a more important date because of its signification.
Note that the French do not celebrate a "Bastille" day, which is a name used by English speakers only, they celebrate the Fête Nationale (national day), known as such since its promulgation by law in 1880, more simply known as le quatorze juillet(the fourteenth of July.)
