Then how are there both in its name?
There's a /ʃ/ in <spanish>, but no /ʃ/ in Spanish. There's a Cz in Czech, but no cz in the Czech language. Orthography ≠ Pronunciation.

(Also, Tillamook isn't a Tillamook word; it's Chinook)
Well there is a /ʃ/ in /ˈspænɪʃ/ as well, just not in /espaˈɲol/ (or any other Spanish word in most dialects, unless you count affricates). This isn't orthography vs. pronunciation; it's exonym vs. endonym.

Another example is Mohawk, which IIRC has no labial consonants despite having one in its English name.
