A well known name for soap? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

joe

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

This could be a double definition.

'a well known name' is the first definition.
'Joe' can be an answer for 'name'. I am not certain of the 'a well known' bit.

'soap?' is the second definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for joe that I've seen before include "One of spelt out words" , "-- Orton, playwright" , "Boy's name" , "Short for Joseph" , "- Bloggs; - Public" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
