Morphology
The meaning 'a small label displaying the name' is directly and compositionally derived from 'name' (word identifying someone) + 'tag' (small label). This noun-noun compound follows a transparent, cross-linguistic labeling pattern in English, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Name tag is a compound noun for a small label or badge with your name that you pin or stick to your clothes at events. Because the tag makes it easy for others to 'identify' you, it means a badge worn to show who someone is.
