His family includes a noted figure (5)

I believe the answer is:

kevin

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

'his' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'family includes a noted figure' is the wordplay.
'family' becomes 'kin' (synonyms).
'includes' is an insertion indicator.
'a noted figure' becomes 'ev' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'kin' enclosing 'ev' is 'KEVIN'.

Can you help me to learn more?
