Imogen Given Name Meaning & History
GENDER: Feminine, USAGE: English (British), PRONOUNCED: IM-ə-jən. The name of a princess in the play ‘Cymbeline’ (1609) by Shakespeare. He based her on a legendary character named Innogen, but the name was printed incorrectly and never corrected. The name Innogen is probably derived from Gaelic “inghean” meaning “maiden”. Imogen, alternatively, mainly in the U.S., Imogene, is a female given name, probably created by Shakespeare for a character in his play Cymbeline. Shakespeare may have meant to use the name of Innogen, a British legendary figure; wife to King Brutus and mother of Locrinus, Albanactus and Camber, whose name derived from Old Irish “ingen”, meaning “daughter or maiden”, but the name (which Shakespeare also used for a ghost character in early editions of Much Ado About Nothing), was printed instead as Imogen. — Imogen originates in Gaelic languages and means “young maiden”. Some sources suggest that the name was invented by Shakespeare for his play Cymbeline. Originally he wanted to use the name Innogen but due to misprinting it, Imogen was used instead and finally became very popular. As a feminine given name, it is frequent, especially in the United Kingdom. Famous Imogens: Imogen Bailey – actress, Imogen Byron – actress, Imogen Claire – actress, Imogen Heap – singer.
