One man's name for a missile (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sam

This clue is a triple definition!

'one man's' is the first definition.
(man's name)

'name' is the second definition.

'for a' acts as a link.

'missile' is the third definition.
(abbreviation for surface-to-air missile)

(Other definitions for sam that I've seen before include "Boy" , "Casablanca piano player" , "together once" , "Uncle" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
