Someone called after one? Sam Keane possibly (8)
I believe the answer is:
namesake
'someone called after one?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'sam keane possibly' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'sam'+'keane'='samkeane'
'samkeane' with letters rearranged gives 'NAMESAKE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for namesake that I've seen before include "One is called after someone" , "Seek a man (anag) -- one with an intimate connection?" , "One's similarly entitled" , "one similarly entitled" , "Person similarly called" .)
