geraint

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

'welsh granite?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'another name' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'another' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is present in the answer.
'name' could be 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms) and 'n' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for geraint that I've seen is " K".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
