emil

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

'name?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'the milkman's' is the wordplay.
'EMIL' is hidden in amongst the letters.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for emil that I've seen before include "French boy's name" , "German boy" , "- - Zatopek, Olympic runner" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
