Woman's name hidden inside "assumed name" (4)

I believe the answer is:

edna

(Other definitions for edna that I've seen before include "Girl's name; Dane (anag.)" , "___ O'Brien, Irish novelist, b. 1930" , "Female name" , "Barry Humphries' Dame" , "Female Dane, oddly" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
