Don't get hung up on al-Qaida in the headline below, they are ISIS. The name you want is Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad which was the Zarqawi group that morphed into Al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI).
(Wikipedia does a good job on the twists and turns of the history)
Contra a silly little Vox video on the roots of ISIS that has been making the rounds, the organizational history actually goes back to 1999
