II just refers to the second in his family to have that name. I guess you can say so people wont get confused. Like if my grandfather's name was John Smith and my father had that same name, my name would be John Smith III. ---- A son who has exactly the same name as his father is normally styled "junior," as in John F. Smith, Jr. A third generation with the same name would be styled "the third," written John F. Smith III. (Note the comma before "Jr." but not before "III.")
When "II" is used ("the second"), it's usually the case that the second is a descendant of but not the son of the first. For example, John F. Smith has a son named George Smith. Then George has a son and names him John F. Smith. He would be styled John F. Smith II ("the second"), after his grandfather, not his father.
