Morphology
Hashemite + kingdom + of + Jordan
The name is transparently built from its parts: 'Hashemite' (pertaining to the Hashemite royal family) + 'kingdom' + 'of Jordan', so a learner who knows those constituents can infer it refers to Jordan as a kingdom ruled by the Hashemite dynasty. This is a literal, compositional proper-name construction that is cross-linguistically common and therefore immediately comprehensible to B1 learners who know the component words.
Etymology
Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan comes from the ruling Hashemite family, who come from a man called Hashim, an ancestor of the Prophet Muhammad. So the full name means 'the kingdom of Jordan ruled by the Hashemite family'.
