I think it was the British who named the country Palestine. Right after they took it from the Ottomans. Previous to that it was a province of the Ottoman empire. That is when the British gave permission for Jewish migration to the area, as stated in the Balfour Declaration of Nov 2 1917..The declaration had the support of Woodrow Wilson and the French.
The document expressed British support for a "national homeland for the Jewish people" in Palestine, then a region of the Ottoman empire.
The document was from the British foreign secretary Arthur James Balfour to the prominent British citizen, Baron Lionel Walter Rothschild.
That was just a month after the 31st Oct Australian 4th light horse charge that helped break the Turkish lines at Beersheba, opening the way to the invasion of Palestine.

"The word Palestine derives from Philistia, the name given by Greek writers to the land of the Philistines, who in the 12th century BCE occupied a small pocket of land on the southern coast, between modern Tel Aviv–Yafo and Gaza"
If the author cant get this bit correct, why should one read on, with any confidence?
