Morphology
The meaning 'the name given by a manufacturer to a product or service' is directly derivable from combining 'brand' (a product or company identifier) with 'name' (word(s) that identify something). This straightforward noun+noun composition is common cross-linguistically and follows transparent compositional patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand it.
Etymology
Brand name comes from old farming, where a brand was a hot iron mark burned on cattle to show 'ownership' and the name was the sign of the owner. So today brand name means the special name that tells which company made a product.
