Crossword Genius

A girl from Aden (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

edna

'a girl' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'from aden' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates an anagram (the anagram comes from the same letters).
'aden' anagrammed gives 'EDNA'.

(Other definitions for edna that I've seen before include "Dame - Everage, housewife-superstar" , "Girl's name; Dane (anag.)" , "Dean (anag) - it's a girl's name!" , "- O'Brien, Irish writer" , "Female name" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
