What is II after English names eg John Smith II?

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.


In the name John Smith III is III followed by a comma?

Not unless a comma is otherwise required. The commas around generational titles apply only to the abbreviations Jr. and Sr. when used following a full name e.g. "Henry Ford, Jr., was a major industrialist." (This formal requirement has been increasingly omitted in colloquial text. The IRA no longer uses commas in text citations, and APA omits them except necessarily where the name is reversed.)

Do you add a comma before Jr or Sr or III in a name?

No comma is necessary before "Jr.", "Sr.", and the like. No comma has ever been necessary before "III", "IV", etc. From the Chicago Manual of Style (http://ow.ly/gcv0):But please note that within text, if you decide to use the more traditional comma before Jr. or Sr., the function of the comma is to set off these abbreviations, so an additional comma is needed after the abbreviation if the sentence continues (as in my first sentence above).


In their name how does one get to put II or III or IV etc at the end?
