History and Origin
Imogen /ˈɪmədʒən/, or Imogene (mainly US), is a female given name. It originated as a misspelling or variation of the name Innogen, from the Old Irish Ingen meaning "maiden" or "daughter".
Innogen was known as the name of a legendary British queen. The first recorded use of Imogen is by Shakespeare for a British princess in his play Cymbeline. Shakespeare may well have written Innogen, and it was printed as Imogen by mistake, thereafter becoming an accepted form of the name. On the other hand, it may have been a variation that already existed, and Shakespeare simply provided the oldest written record which survived. Many have considered it a misprint. The form Innogen is rare. Shakespeare used the older form Innogen for a ghost character in early editions of Much Ado About Nothing.
The legendary British queen Innogen was supposedly wife to King Brutus and mother of Locrinus, Albanactus and Camber.
The name is rising in popularity in England and Wales, where it was the 34th most popular name for baby girls in 2007, and in New South Wales, Australia, where the name was the 35th most popular name for baby girls in 2007. It was ranked 86th in popularity for baby girls in Scotland in 2007.
English: the name owes its existence to a character in Shakespeare's Cymbeline (1609), but in earlier accounts of the events on which the play is based this character is named as Innogen. The modern form of the name is thus due to a misreading of these sources by Shakespeare, or of the play's text by his printer. The name Innogen is of Celtic origin, probably connected with Gaelic inghean girl, maiden.
