Morphology
Mick + Jagger
This is a proper name referring to a specific individual; the identity and biographical meaning (English rock musician, lead singer of the Rolling Stones) are not compositionally derived from the components 'Mick' and 'Jagger'. Personal names are arbitrary labels rather than transparent semantic compounds, so a B1 learner who only knows the constituent forms would not be able to infer the MWE meaning without prior exposure.
Etymology
Mick Jagger comes from his real name: Mick is short for 'Michael' and Jagger is his family name, so the name refers to the famous lead singer of the Rolling Stones.
