Morphology

Bartolomeo + Eustachi

This is a proper name referring to a specific historical person; knowing the individual word forms (which here are nonce or name-forms) does not allow a learner to infer the biographical meaning. Proper names are generally arbitrary and language-specific, so the referent's identity and attributes are not derivable from the constituents.

Etymology

Bartolomeo Eustachi was an Italian doctor from the 1500s who carefully studied and drew the ear and the heart. The ear part called the 'Eustachian tube' is named after him, so his name now makes people think of the ear.
