Morphology
The phrase combines 'charming' (attractive, pleasant) with 'personality' (one's characteristic patterns of behavior and emotion), so the meaning—an especially pleasant or attractive character—is directly derivable from the constituents. This adjective + noun composition is a standard, cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
The phrase charming personality comes from the old idea of a charm, a small magic object or short words that made people like someone, and from personality, meaning the way a person behaves. So a person with a charming personality seems to have that 'charm', which is why the phrase means 'especially attractive and pleasant to others'.
