Concerning the crater's namesake:

According to the Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature, Agrippa was named for a Greek astronomer (died AD 92). However, when considered in its proximity to the crater Julius Caesar, it is as likely that this crater was named for Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa (63-12 BC), a Roman general and statesman. It was Agrippa who commanded Octavian's fleet in the victory at Actium (31 BC) over the combined forces of the Roman general Mark Antony and Queen Cleopatra of Egypt-effectively ending their plot to overthrow Octavian. Earlier, in 36 BC, Agrippa had defeated Sextus Pompeius in two naval battles (Mylae and Naulochus), thus helping Octavian (the heir to Julius Caesar) become sole ruler of the Roman Empire.
