The name on the can (5)

I believe the answer is:

jerry

This clue is a double definition.

'the name' is the first definition.

'the can' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'on' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for jerry that I've seen before include "- - Hall, model and actress" , "Cartoon mouse" , "Tom and --, cartoon" , "-- Lee Lewis" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
