The geographic nation of Israel is the name of the small country in the middle east.
The people Israel are the Jewish people throughout the world.
Israel 'actually means' 'wrestles with g-d."

The Hebrew word "Israel" means he who wrestles with God. It is used in the Bible to mean both the land of Israel, Eretz Yisrael, and the people Israel, Am Yisrael.
One can refer to a country as a nation, but we also think of the people of Israel as the nation of Israel.

Jacobs' name, in Genesis 32:28, was changed to Israel. This was after he had wrestled with the angel. Israel means "May God prevail [for Him]".

It depends on the context. It can mean both, just like America can refer to the United States or the western hemisphere.
