Who is Scripps and Why is Everything Named After Her?

Who is Scripps and Why is Everything Named After Her?

If you’ve spent any time in San Diego, you’ve probably run into the name Scripps a few times – Scripps Ranch, Scripps Park, Scripps Pier, Scripps Aquarium, Scripps Institute…but do you know who Scripps is?
Ellen Browning Scripps was born in England, but came to Illinois with her father and five siblings when she was about eight, after the death of her mother. When her father remarried, she got a half-brother (Edward Wyllis or E.W.), eighteen years her junior, whom she worked closely with throughout most of their lives.
