Chap from Ayr (3)

I believe the answer is:

ray

'chap' is the definition.
(man's name)

'from ayr' is the wordplay.
'from' is an anagram indicator (from the letters).
'ayr' with letters rearranged gives 'RAY'.

(Other definitions for ray that I've seen before include "Gleam" , "Second note for the flat fish" , "Flatfish or sunbeam" , "Column of light on the fish?" , "Shaft of light" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
