Morphology

Giuseppe + Melchiorre + Sarto

This is a proper name composed of personal names; knowing the individual name-words ('Giuseppe', 'Melchiorre', 'Sarto') does not let a B1 learner infer that this is the birth name of Pope Pius X or any biographical information. Proper names function as arbitrary labels rather than compositional phrases, so the meaning cannot be derived from the constituents.

Etymology

Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto was the birth name of the man who later became 'Pope Pius X'. When he became pope he chose the name 'Pope Pius X', so his original name shows who he was before and helps us remember his early life.
