Girl from a strange land (6)

I believe the answer is:

angela

'girl' is the definition.
(I know that Angela is a female given name)

'from a strange land' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ANGELA' is hidden in the letters of 'strange land'.

(Other definitions for angela that I've seen before include "-- Merkel, German Chancellor" , "Girl's name" , "woman" , "Frau Merkel" , "- Gheorghiu, Romanian soprano" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
