Friendly islands have got an unusual name (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tonga

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

'friendly islands' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'got an unusual name' is the wordplay.
'got an' can be anagrammed to 'TONGA'.
Though, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

'have' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tonga that I've seen before include "two-wheeler" , "Pacific island kingdom" , "SW Pacific monarchy" , "South Pacific kingdom, capital Nuku'alofa" , "Polynesian Kingdom" .)
