Another name for Indiana (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

jones

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

'another name for indiana' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'name for indiana' is the wordplay.
'name' becomes 'Jo'.
'for indiana' becomes 'nes' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'jo'+'nes'='JONES'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for jones that I've seen before include "Tom, Bobby or Aled" , "See 8" , "Common Welsh surname" , "... after which [INDIANA] action hero" , "Dad's Army corporal" .)
