He may be reading about Latin (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reginald

'he' is the definition.

'may be reading about latin' is the wordplay.
'may be' is an anagram indicator.
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'latin' becomes 'l'.
'reading' with letters rearranged gives 'reginad'.
'reginad' placed around 'l' is 'REGINALD'.

(Other definitions for reginald that I've seen before include "Man" , "-- Jeeves, Bertie Wooster's valet" , "Man's name" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
