Nelson in Perth or at Iona? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

horatio

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

'nelson' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'in perth or at iona?' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'HORATIO' is hidden within 'perth or at iona'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for horatio that I've seen before include "Nelson's first name" , "Nelson's given name" , "Good seafaring name" , "Shakespearean part" , "Hamlet's friend: Hornblower's first name" .)
