Is there a name for the island on which England, Wales and Scotland resides?

Great Britain.

The British Isles are the whole archipelago including Ireland.

The biggest island, the one divided into Cornwall, England, Wales, and Scotland, is Great Britain. (Brittany used to be Less Britain, apparently.)

Good question; according to the GIS people upstairs its probably "Great Britain" since the full name of the UK is the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".
