Place of birth? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

natal

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

This might be a double definition.

'place' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'of birth?' is the second definition.
(natal means relating to birth)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for natal that I've seen before include "Province at one time" , "description of delivery" , "Brazilian port" , "Colony once" , "Relating to birth or the buttocks" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Daily Express.
