Ross

I believe the answer is:

nee

(Other definitions for nee that I've seen before include "Adjective used to give woman's maiden name" , "Prefix denoting woman's name before marriage" , "called before wedding?" , "Born (indicating a woman's maiden name)" , "Adjective meaning born, followed by maiden name" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
