Not named, yet celebrated! (5)

I believe the answer is:

noted

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'celebrated' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'not named' is the wordplay.
'named' becomes 'ed' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'not'+'ed'='NOTED'

'yet' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for noted that I've seen before include "Illustrious" , "Indicated" , "Renowned" , "saw" , "Gaiter; oyster spawn" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
