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

'name of man' is the definition.
'eric' can be an answer for 'man' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'name of' bit.

'america' is the wordplay.
'ERIC' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I am uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eric that I've seen before include "Ancient blood-money; Ernie's partner" , "Rice turned for the boy" , "- Sykes, British comedian" , "- Morecambe, comic" , "Fine" .)
