name of cationic part + Name of anionic part.

Metal present in the anionic complex, so 'ate', must be added at the end of the metal name. 

Oxidation state of Mn

Mn+4-2=-2                   =+6

The structure of anionic complex name is

ligand names + metal name(oxidation state)

K2MnO4

2+x8=0

x=+6

Oxidation state of Mn=+6
