There are multiple articles on this, let me summarise in bullet points.
If you look at ancient history if India, the civilisation was concentrated around Indus or Sindhu river, the names were introduced in following chronological sequence:
Bharat – According to Rigveda, Bharata was atribe living in plains and the king was called Bharata, the kingdom was referredin Purans as BharatvarshaHindustan – Land of Hindu (people residing near river Sindhu) was term used by Persian attackers and writersIndia – India was again derived from river Indus and was used by English Kings post 16th century
Hence:
Name: Bharat > Hindustan > IndiaPeople: Incumbents > Rulers_1 > Rulers_2Language: Sanskrit > Urdu > EnglishPeriod: Ancient > Old > Current
PS: I personally like to refer the country as Bharat and say ‘Jai Hind’ :

we operate our country with two names, the original name Bharat, and the given name, India. The invaders of Bharat who came up to the river Sindhu somehow managed to pronounce Sindhu as Hindu, and then Indus. And finally India is stuck on us for centuries now.
Historians should give a satisfactory explanation for the evolution of this name ‘India’, or trace its origin. I could not find anywhere in the Vedas, Puranas, Itihaasa or even Amarakosa the word or name ‘India.’
The scriptures say “jambu dweepe Bhaarata varshe….” And from time immemorial a meaningful Samskrita ‘padham’ Bhaarat, has been in vogue: no one can deny this. Yet, our Constitution included the name India and liberally allowed everyone to use it even after attaining Independence from foreign invaders.
When we speak in our regional languages or Rashtra bhasha, we proudly use the name Bharat or Bharata Matha. But while addressing the nation in English, people refer to it as India, like a translation for the original name for non-Bhaaratiyas to understand
