Female with a tiny boy and a famous daughter (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fatima

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

'famous daughter' is the definition.
'fatima' can be an answer for 'daughter' (I have seen 'Daughter of Muhammad ' mean 'fatima' so perhaps 'daughter' could also mean 'fatima'). I am not certain of the 'famous' bit.

'female with a tiny boy and a' is the wordplay.
'female' becomes 'fa' (I've seen this in other clues).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a tiny boy' becomes 'Tim' (A Christmas Carol character Tiny Tim).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'fa'+'tim'+'a'='FATIMA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fatima that I've seen before include "significant figure in Islam" , "Portuguese place of RC pilgrimage" , "Catholic shrine in Portugal or Mohammed's daughter" , "Daughter of Mohammed" , "Portugese shrine or Muhammad's daughter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
