The male has a name for courage (5)
I believe the answer is:
heart
'for courage' is the definition.
(heart is a kind of courage)
'the male has a name' is the wordplay.
'the male' becomes 'he' (he refers to a man).
'has' says to put letters next to each other.
'a name' becomes 'art' ().
'he'+'art'='HEART'
(Other definitions for heart that I've seen before include "bottle" , "It beats" , "Cardiac courage" , "Core - card" , "Playing card - pity" .)
