Morphology
The phrase simply labels the person Paul with the role 'apostle', so a learner who knows 'apostle' (early Christian missionary/teacher) and the proper name 'Paul' can readily infer it refers to Paul in his role as an apostle. This is a straightforward, compositional noun + name construction common cross-linguistically and does not require idiomatic or metaphorical interpretation.
Etymology
Apostle Paul comes from the story of a man first called Saul who, one popular story says, had a vision of Jesus and was then 'sent' out to teach new people about the faith. The word Apostle means 'one who is sent' and he used the name Paul while travelling and writing letters, so the title shows he was an important messenger and teacher.
