Born as (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nee

'born as' is the definition.
(nee is used to show someone's birth name)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for nee that I've seen before include "Originally called" , "Name originally" , "Adjective denoting woman's name before marriage" , "Prefix denoting woman's name before marriage" , "called before wedding?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard, The Star Tribune, the Universal, The Wall Street Journal, the Penny Press, the King Feature Syndicate and The Mirror.
