Morphology
The meaning 'the name given to a computer file' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'file' (a collection/document) with 'name' (identifier); it simply denotes the name of a file. This noun–noun compositional pattern is regular and cross-linguistically common (e.g. Spanish 'nombre de archivo'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
File name comes from old offices where people kept paper files and wrote a name on each folder as a 'label' to show what was inside. So a computer file name is that same 'label' that tells you what the file is.
