Name of several physicians (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ralph

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

'name' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'of several physicians' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'RALPH' is hidden in the letters of 'several physicians'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ralph that I've seen before include "Fellow's name" , "Man's name" , "Piggy's friend (Lord of the Flies); --- Vaughan Williams" , "N Waldo Emerson, nineteenth century US poet" , "Chap" .)
