Morphology
Ferdinand + Victor + Eugène + Delacroix
The sequence is clearly a concatenation of given names plus a surname, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will recognize it as a person's full name (cross-linguistically obvious). However, the specific biographical meaning — that this is a French Romantic painter known for expressive brushwork and specific works — cannot be derived from the name components alone, so the relation is only partially transparent.
Etymology
Ferdinand Victor Eugène Delacroix was a French painter known for bold paint strokes and bright color. Think of his famous picture 'Liberty Leading the People', where a woman leads a moving crowd and the strong colors and motion give a feeling of drama—this is why his name is remembered for lively, dramatic art.
