The most populous of New York City's five boroughs (8)

I believe the answer is:

brooklyn

(Other definitions for brooklyn that I've seen before include "New York borough with famous bridge." , "Son of 4 across" , "Beckham Jr; NY borough" , "District and bridge in New York" , "part of Long Island?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
