Morphology

slave + name

The meaning is directly compositional: 'slave' (a person in a submissive/controlled role) combined with 'name' (an identifier) yields 'a name used for someone in a slave role', so a learner who knows both words can infer the sense. Although the usage is domain-specific (role‑play/BDSM) and may require cultural knowledge for full pragmatic nuance, the lexical semantics are transparent.

Etymology

Slave name comes from role-play where a person takes a special name to show they are playing a slave role. Using that different name marks a change in identity and the power relationship, so the phrase means 'a name adopted by a person playing a submissive role'.
