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

'identified as' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'being' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for named that I've seen before include "Called" , "Entitled" , "Designated" , "Titled" , "Christened" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
