Morphology
saint + Louis
The phrase combines 'saint' (a holy or canonized person) with the proper name 'Louis', so a learner who knows both words will readily interpret it as a person named Louis who is a saint. While specific historical details (that this refers to King Louis IX, dates, and crusades) are not derivable from the constituents, the basic referential meaning is compositional and clear.
Etymology
Saint Louis was named by French settlers for King Louis IX, who was later made a 'saint' for his faith and charity. So the city's name remembers that king and today 'Saint Louis' refers to the large American city on the Mississippi River.
