Raggedy Ann was made by Johnny Gruelle.
 Gruelle is best known as the creator of a series of stories about a rag doll named Raggedy Ann and her friends
== Naming Raggedy Ann ==On June 17, 1915, shortly after submitting his patent application for the doll's design, Johnny Gruelle applied for a registered trademark for the Raggedy Ann name, which he created by combining words from two of James Whitcomb Riley poems, "The Raggedy Man" and "Little Orphant Annie"
