Imogenia is English in Origin.

Imogenia is a Latinate elaboration of Imogen, the Shakespearean form of the older Celtic name Innogen. Most scholars trace Innogen to Old Irish ingen (later Irish inghean), meaning "maiden" or "daughter," so Imogenia carries the same sense. The added -ia ending, common in Romance-language feminines, softens the cadence and lends the name a continental flavor while preserving its literary pedigree.

In use, Imogen rose in Britain from the 18th century onward, while Imogenia has remained rare, appearing sporadically in English-speaking registers and occasionally in Spanish- and Portuguese-influenced contexts where -ia forms are favored. Variants and related forms include Imogen, Imogene (particularly in North America), and Innogen; less common elaborations such as Imogena also occur. Short forms range from Immy and Imo to Genia or Genie. Meaning-rich yet distinctive, Imogenia offers a romantic alternative to Imogen with the same core sense of "maiden" and a graceful, international finish.
