Morphology

Daryacheh-ye + Orumiyeh

This is a compositional place-name: 'Daryacheh' (Persian for 'lake') plus the genitive/linking '-ye' and the proper noun 'Orumiyeh', so the meaning is directly recoverable as 'Lake Urmia' or 'the lake of Orumiyeh' if the learner knows the constituents. The structure parallels common cross-linguistic patterns for naming bodies of water, making the sense transparent to a learner familiar with the component meanings.

Etymology

Daryacheh-ye Orumiyeh literally means 'the lake of Orumiyeh' in Persian, because Daryacheh means 'lake' and Orumiyeh is the nearby city; that's why the name refers to the large salty lake in northwestern Iran.
