The prefix "SO" in the compound name stands for the sulfate anion (SO42-) and the Roman numeral in parentheses after the element name indicates its oxidation state. "II" represents a +2 oxidation state for vanadium, which is consistent with its position as a transition metal. Therefore, the name for VSO₄ is vanadium (II)sulfate.
