Morphology
united + nation + Educational, + scientific + and + cultural + organization
The full name is fully compositional: it combines 'United Nations' with the adjectives 'educational, scientific and cultural' and 'organization', so a learner knowing those words can infer it is an organization of nations focused on education, science and culture. This naming pattern is literal and cross-linguistically common for institutional titles, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents should understand the meaning.
Etymology
United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization was created after the Second World War so countries could 'work together' to protect schools, museums and scientific knowledge. The words Educational, Scientific and Cultural in its name show this aim, so today it helps countries share knowledge and protect old buildings and traditions.
