The little room is for him (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

denis

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

'him' is the definition.

'the little room is' is the wordplay.
'the little room' becomes 'den' (den is a kind of room. I am not sure about the 'little' bit.).
'den'+'is'='DENIS'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for denis that I've seen before include "- Healey, former Chancellor of the Exchequer" , "Patron saint of France" , "St -, first Paris bishop" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
