Morphology
university + of + Michigan
The name denotes a university located in the state of Michigan and its meaning is directly derivable from 'university' (a degree-granting place) + 'of' (indicating belonging/location) + 'Michigan' (the state). This possessive/location composition is cross-linguistically common and therefore comprehensible to a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
University of Michigan is named like a state school: University means a place for higher education and Michigan shows the state it serves. That's why the name now refers to the large public university in Ann Arbor.
