Roman name for Tuscany is Tuscia (hence the modern name Toscana).
Etruria can't be identified with Toscana as it was a much wider region including parts of the Tuscia(Tuscany), of Latium (Lazio) , Umbria and Emilia Romagna.

As i can remember the name Tuscany is derived from an Etruscan tribe that settled there about 1000 BC. Tuscia came into official use under the Roman Empire in the 3rd century AD.

Italian wikipedia says
"......Gli Etruschi : da essi la Regione prese il norne di Etruria, Tuscia per i Romani e successivamente Tuscania e Toscana."
which means
The Etruscans : from them the region had been called Etruria and TUSCIA FOR ROMANS , then Tuscania and Toscana"

The Roman name was Etruria. It was one of, if not the richest part of the world at the time they and a group of fishermen decided to form a nation. All the early kings of Rome were from Etruria..
