Irving's city? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

berlin

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

This could be a double definition.

'irving's' is the first definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'city?' is the second definition.
(Berlin is an example)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for berlin that I've seen before include "City once divided by wall" , "A once-divided city" , "Possibly Isaiah" , "Irving -, Russian-born musical composer" , "German capital" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
