Famous name never misspelt (5)

I believe the answer is:

verne

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

'famous name' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'never misspelt' is the wordplay.
'misspelt' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'never' anagrammed gives 'VERNE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for verne that I've seen before include "See 27 Across" , "Jules --, French author" , "French novelist" , "Jules --, French writer" , "Jules ..... wrote ` `20,000 Leagues under the Sea' '" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
