Name found when reading between the lines? (3)

I believe the answer is:

eli

(Other definitions for eli that I've seen before include "Man" , "Biblical teacher of Samuel" , "Biblical high priest" , "High priest in the Book of Samuel" , "- Wallach, US actor" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
