hoboken

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

'in belgium or america a' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'tramp has a name for it' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'tramp' could be 'hobo' (both can mean a homeless person) and 'hobo' is found in the answer.
'name' could be 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms) and 'n' is found in the answer.
'it' could be 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT') and 'e' is found within the answer.
A single letter 'k' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
