Hester's other name (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

esther

'name' is the definition.

'hester's other' is the wordplay.
'other' indicates anagramming the letters.
'hester' anagrammed gives 'ESTHER'.

(Other definitions for esther that I've seen before include "10 Heroine" , "Section of Bible" , "Biblical heroine, who married the king of Persia" , "__ Rantzen, TV presenter, b. 1940" , "Oratorio by Handel; girl's name" .)

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