Yes, the name Palestine is derived from the Philistines who used to inhabit the area 3500 years ago. The region has been urbanized for 7-9k years and inhabited by many different groups. Jews, Greeks, Romans, Muslims, and I’m sure there’s more. It has an exceedingly complex history.

And the name _Israel_ is derived from another Bronze Age tribe, from which Zionists draw the legitimacy of their project. Rather a fatuous question.
