The ridge was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee, following its mapping by the South Georgia Survey in 1951–52, for Captain Edmund Fanning of Stonington, CT, who with the Aspasia took 57,000 fur seal skins at South Georgia in 1800–01, and published the earliest account of sealing there.
