George Orwell's real first name (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eric

'george orwell's real first name' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for eric that I've seen before include "Ancient blood-money; Ernie's partner" , "..... the Red was Norwegian 10th Century exployer" , "--, or Little by Little (Dean Farrar)" , "Man" , "- Morecambe, comic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Chronicle of Higher Education, the New York Times and The Sun.
