A name for one wandering out West? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

owen

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

'a name' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'one wandering out west?' is the wordplay.
'wandering' indicates anagramming the letters.
'out' is an insertion indicator.
'west?' becomes 'W' (abbreviation).
'one' with letters rearranged gives 'oen'.
'oen' going around 'w' is 'OWEN'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for owen that I've seen before include "Welsh boy's name" , "'E won over the Welshman" , "Former SDP leader" , "English war poet, killed 1918" , "Wilfred - - , WW1 poet" .)
