... name of female Roman, perhaps (5)

I believe the answer is:
norma
'name of female' is the definition.
'norma' can be an answer for 'female' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'name of' bit.
'roman perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' is an anagram indicator.
'roman' with letters rearranged gives 'NORMA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for norma that I've seen before include "Drawing instrument" , "- - Jean Baker: Marilyn Monroe" , "Bellini work" , "Opera - ex-PM's wife" , "Shearer or Major" .)
