Familiar name for a Carmelite centre (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mel

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

'familiar name' is the definition.
'Mel' can be an answer for 'name'. I'm unsure of the 'familiar' bit.

'for a carmelite centre' is the wordplay.
'centre' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (hidden in the middle of the letters).
'MEL' is hidden in the letters of 'for carmelite'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mel that I've seen before include "Honey" , "- - Gibson (actor)" , "-- Brooks, film director" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
