A clinging girl? (3)

I believe the answer is:
ivy
'girl?' is the definition.
(woman's name)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ivy that I've seen before include "Clinging, parasitical plant" , "Common climbing evergreen plant" , "Climbing-plant" , "Evergreen climber" , "Evergreen creeping plant" .)
