Morphology
The phrase is a simple coordination of two literal nouns: 'name' (identifier) and 'address' (contact location), joined by 'and', so its meaning as combined identifying information is directly derivable from the parts. This is a common, formulaic item on forms and has clear cross-linguistic parallels, making it immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
The noun name and address comes from the long habit of writing a person's name and address together on letters and forms so post offices and people could know 'who' someone was and 'where to send' things. That's why it now means a person's basic identification and contact details.
