Named; made reference to (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cited

This clue is a double definition.

'named' is the first definition.
('cite' can be a synonym of 'name')

'made reference to' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for cited that I've seen before include "Called for" , "Quoted or mentioned as example" , "Commended" , "Summoned" , "Made reference to -- edict (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
