FeSO₄ is Iron sulfate. It's a chemical known for centuries, and actually has had many names. Wikipedia lists: Ferrous sulfate; green vitriol; iron vitriol; copperas; melanterite; szomolnokite

Note that the "oil of vitriol" was the name alchemists gave to sulfuric acid; when you dissolve iron into sulfuric acid, you get this salt.
