Unusual Maori girl's name (5)

I believe the answer is:

moira

'girl's name' is the definition.

'unusual maori' is the wordplay.
'unusual' indicates anagramming the letters.
'maori' anagrammed gives 'MOIRA'.

(Other definitions for moira that I've seen before include "- - Shearer, actress-ballerina" , "-- Shearer, ballet dancer" , "Shearer perhaps" , "Girl" , "Shearer, possibly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
