Pig-headed person's name for the kinkajou! (5)

I believe the answer is:

potto

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

'the kinkajou' is the definition.
('potto' can be a synonym of 'kinkajou')

'pig-headed person's name' is the wordplay.
'pig-headed person' becomes 'p' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'name' becomes 'otto' (Otto is an example).
'p'+'otto'='POTTO'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
