The name of a woman I complain about (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

naomi

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

'the name' is the definition.

'i complain about' is the wordplay.
'complain' becomes 'moan' (moan can mean to complain or whinge).
'about' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'i'+'moan'='imoan'
'imoan' back-to-front is 'NAOMI'.

'of a woman' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for naomi that I've seen before include "woman in the Bible" , "Biblical mother-in-law of Ruth" , "Mother-in-law of Ruth (Bible)" , "-- Campbell, British model" , "Biblical character" .)
