Reflective girl (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

anna

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

'reflective girl' is the definition.
'Anna' can be an answer for 'girl'. I am not sure about the 'reflective' bit.

'girl' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'girl' could be 'ann' (woman's name) and 'ann' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'a' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for anna that I've seen before include "and eleven, twenty four across heroine" , "She's a woman, whichever way you look at it" , "Palindromic girl's name" , "Former Indian coin; girl's name" , "The name's the same,either way" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
