Maiden name preceder (3)

I believe the answer is:

(Other definitions for nee that I've seen before include "Prefix indicating maiden name of married woman" , "Born in France" , "named as 14 [FIANCEE] ?" , "Born as (French)" , "Indicates the family name of a married woman" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, the Newsday and the King Feature Syndicate.
