Imogen name meaning

The origin story of the name Imogen is not exactly known. The name is thought to have possibly been popularized because of a misspelling of the Celtic name Innogen in the printing of Shakespeare’s Cymbeline (source). Both Innogen and Imogen mean “maiden.”

There are also known uses of Imogen prior to Shakespeare, such as the sister of an ally of William the Conquer.

The alternative spelling to Imogen, Imogene, took hold in the U.S. a century ago. Internationally, the name is most commonly spelled Imogen and pronounced im-o-jin. Spelled as Imogene, it is pronounced im-o-jean.

The Imogene spelling was the more popular spelling in the U.S. around the name’s peak popularity in the 1920’s. However, as the name creeps back into fashion, Imogen has become the favored version for fashionable parents.

Interestingly, while Imogen has recently been a top 50 name in both Australia and the U.K., the traditional Imogen spelling has yet to crack the top 1000 in the U.S. (Imogene peaked at #157 in 1927).

I’ve used both spellings, Imogen and Imogene, interchangeably throughout this post so that you can see visually how Imogen vs. Imogene looks with various middle names.
