Cuban name thrown right out (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

castro

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

'cuban name' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'thrown right out' is the wordplay.
'thrown' becomes 'cast' (I've seen this before).
'right out' becomes 'ro' (this might be a standard abbreviation of which I'm unaware).
'cast'+'ro'='CASTRO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for castro that I've seen before include "Fidel or Ral" , "revolutionary leader" , "Fidel . . . . . .,retired Cuban leader" , "Actors in Cuba" , "Latin American dictator" .)
