Yitzchok is also called Yisrael, like it says, "these are the names of the sons of Yisrael coming down to Egypt, there's Yakov..."
From medrash Raba Toldos

Further, Yisrael is a name given, "ki sarisa ik E-lokim", "because you ruled over E-lokim." It is Yitzchok, in particular, who represents the elevation of the attribute of judgment, "ruling" over E-lokim.

From Ohr Hatorah Shemos
