    Ca is calcium, so that part is not hard, right?

    To get the second part of these names, you need to know or be able to look up the formulas of a dozen or two polyatomic ions.

    That knowledge allows you to recognize that PO4 -3 is phosphate and PO3 -3 is phosphite.

    There's more to it, but that's the gist.
