Evidence of right to a name (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

title

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

This clue might be a double definition.

'evidence of right' is the first definition.
'title' can be an answer for 'right' (title is a kind of right). I'm not certain of the 'evidence of' bit.

'name' is the second definition.
(eg the name of a book)

'to a' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for title that I've seen before include "Championship -- form of address" , "Designation of honour, rank or office" , "Identifying name" , "Document showing legal right to possess a property" , "The name of a work of art or book" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
