Morphology
The compound combines 'hillbilly' (rural/unsophisticated) with 'mango' (fruit), so its meaning — a mango associated with rural areas or a rustic-flavoured variety — is directly derivable from the constituent words. This follows a common noun–noun compounding pattern in English, so an average B1 learner who knows both words would likely infer the intended sense.
Etymology
Hillbilly mango may come from small, country farms where a special mango was grown by local people. The word hillbilly suggests 'country' or 'local' growers, so the name now means a mango variety known for a rich, home-grown flavor.
