Own name used in safe location (5)
I believe the answer is:
haven
'safe location' is the definition.
'haven' can be an answer for 'location' (haven is a kind of location). I'm not certain of the 'safe' bit.
'own name' is the wordplay.
'own' becomes 'have' (synonyms).
'name' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms).
'have'+'n'='HAVEN'
'used in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for haven that I've seen before include "Safe harbour" , "Shelter (for ships)" , "Harbour, small port" , "Place of safety or sanctuary" , "Harbour, oasis" .)
