Naming History
The original name for this mobile suit as it originally appeared was simply Zaku. In the non-official publication Gundam Century(in which later endorsed by Bandai as a semi-official guide book), it was named the Zaku II, so as to separate it from the MS-05 Zaku I (originally referred to simply as Old Zaku in the original series). The name was then officially endorsed and all subsequent publications by either Sunrise or Bandai refer to it as Zaku II.

And what goes on in it, the naming of the wind,
Our notes to each other, always repeated, always the same.”
