Another name for Evita (5)

I believe the answer is:

peron

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

'evita' is the definition.
(nickname of Eva Peron)

'another name' is the wordplay.
'another' becomes 'pe' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'name' becomes 'ron' (short for Ronald).
'pe'+'ron'='PERON'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for peron that I've seen before include "Argentinian president, Evita his wife" , "Surname of Evita of the musical" , "Argentinian dictator, 1946-55" , "Juan ---, Argentine dictator" , "Juan, maybe" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
