1) I can't find this word in any of a dozen or more dicts.

2) It's not in J or TP either.

3) Miles added it in a batch without explanation in 2007.
The next entry in the batch was
釋名 释名 [shi4 ming2] /late Han etymological dictionary "Explain Words" by 劉熙|刘熙, 27 chapters in 8 scrolls, 1502 entries/
and that's probably connected to the inclusion of 名源.

4) Line has
说文理据训释中的名源关系研究
The Origin of the Names in Shuo Wen's Interpretations of Motivation
See also https://www.dissertationtopic.net/doc/545608

5) I'm having trouble finding examples of 名源 usage in Google.
I did find 名源动词 (denominal verb) but that's a term that should have its own entry. (I may submit it later.)

6) Based on the two characters, it seems unlikely that 名源 could mean "etymology".
(名 means 'name' or 'noun' rather than 'word'.)
