Crossword Genius

Some chap, a bloke making a name in Spain (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pablo

'a name in spain' is the definition.
(common Spanish name)

'some chap a bloke' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'PABLO' is hidden within 'chap a bloke'.

'making' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for pablo that I've seen before include "Paul in Spain" , "Foreign fellow" , "Picasso's name" , "Spanish boy's name" , "Senor Picasso" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
