Reputation held by pair of Americans? (4)

I haven't cracked this one yet — but the brilliant team at Times for the Times have:

I don’t see how this works. I think it is an error, supposed to be a hidden word but perhaps LatiN AMEricans was intended? Or perhaps the answer should be FAME not NAME, as FAME is hidden? There isn’t another hidden word clue and there is usually one. EDIT it seems, as was spotted below, that the setter knows what he is doing and I didn’t spot the correct parsing. I’d never seen the “indirect hidden word” trick before, apparently not used since 2007, so the AMERICA[N AME]RICAN idea wasn’t on my radar. I’ll be ready for it next time.
