Morphology
San + Jose
This is a toponym (proper name) composed of Spanish elements 'San' (Saint) and 'Jose' (Joseph), but knowing those constituents does not allow a learner to infer the specific referent or the fact that it is the capital and largest city of Costa Rica. Place names are conventional, arbitrary labels rather than compositional expressions, so the meaning is not derivable from the parts.
Etymology
San Jose was named by Spanish settlers for the Christian saint 'Saint Joseph'. Early settlers often named a town after the church or saint near the settlement, so the place around that church became known as San Jose, which is why the city still has that name today.
