French word between two names

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nee

(Other definitions for nee that I've seen before include "Word used to indicate family name of a married woman" , "Adjective meaning born, followed by maiden name" , "indicate old name" , "Used to indicate a married woman's single name" , "Born as (French)" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
