Morphology
San + Bernardino
The name is composed of 'San' (Spanish for 'Saint') plus a personal name, so a learner who knows the constituents can infer it is a place name (a toponym) named after a saint; the 'San + name' pattern is cross-linguistically common. However, the specific information that it is a city in southern California (its location and status) cannot be derived from the parts alone, so the transparency is partial.
Etymology
San Bernardino comes from Spanish and literally joins San ('Saint') and Bernardino (the name of a well-known saint). Spanish explorers and priests used this name for the area, so today San Bernardino is the name of the city in southern California.
