Morphology
The phrase is a simple adjective + noun combination where 'low' describes the physical height and 'archipelago' denotes a group of islands; a B1 learner who knows both words can infer it refers to an archipelago of low-lying islands. As a proper name this identifies a specific group, but the meaning is transparently composed and cross-linguistically straightforward.
Etymology
Low Archipelago may come from a simple picture: the islands are very low and flat, so Low describes their height and archipelago means a 'group of islands'. So the name fits the real place, a 'group of about 80 coral islands' in French Polynesia.
