Sar means prince.
Ysar means "has power like a prince."
Israel means "He has power like a prince towards God" or "He has power as a prince of God"
“...וַיֹּ֗אמֶר לֹ֤א יַעֲקֹב֙ יֵאָמֵ֥ר עוֹד֙ שִׁמְךָ֔ כִּ֖י אִם־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל כִּֽי־שָׂרִ֧יתָ עִם־אֱלֹהִ֛ים וְעִם־אֲנָשִׁ֖ים וַתּוּכָֽל׃” (בראשית 32:29, OSHB)
“And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.” (Genesis 32:28, KJV)
I am not familiar with this translation.
KJV is the King James Version. It is fairly well-known. It is based on the more historically used received text, and not on the error-prone minority text documents that are common today.
