I don't really understand what you are looking for, but Clyde is a man's name and a river.

Allan? (Shearer) in Scotland

Thanks for your response Elliemay. It is def. 5 letter answer so still scratching my head on this one. Have a good evening.

Just to clarify, the answers are all rivers of the world. Quiz is the Annual competition in aid of Compton Care - Nov. 2018. Thanks for all your suggestions.

ubasses's NEMAN seems to fit. Geordie is person from Newcastle which is in NE England. Lad = Man

Neman is a river.

Marra is Geordie slang for mate. There are two rivers of that name but unfortunately spelt Mara so won't fit.

[Frenchiefood]

Thanks to everyone, I believe that Neman is the answer. NE man and it is the name of a river. I am going with that. Thanks again for your interest, help and for solving it. I was nowhere near getting that answer.
