Imogen is Cornish, Welsh in Origin.
Imogen descends from the medieval Irish name Innogen, from Old Irish ingen/inghean, meaning “maiden” or “daughter.” Innogen appears in medieval British legend as the wife of Brutus of Troy, cited by Geoffrey of Monmouth. The spelling Imogen took hold after Shakespeare used it for Cymbeline’s heroine, likely via a printer’s misreading of Innogen; from there it entered English usage and saw revivals in the Victorian era and again in recent decades, especially in Britain and Australasia.
Variants include Innogen, Imogene (American), and the rarer Imojean; diminutives Immy, Imo, and Gen. In English, Imogen is IM‑uh‑jən, while Imogene is IM‑uh‑jeen. The core sense is “maiden/daughter”; a later folk link with Latin innocens (“innocent”) shaped its literary aura. The Shakespearean association suggests loyalty, resourcefulness, and quiet elegance.
