Imogen

Imogen is a name of uncertain origin that first appears in William Shakespeare's play Cymbeline (1611), where it is borne by the virtuous British princess at the heart of the story. It is widely believed to have resulted from a misprint of Innogen, a name derived from the Old Celtic element inno, possibly meaning maiden or girl, which also appears in early British legendary history as the name of a legendary founder figure. The name has been used in English-speaking countries since the eighteenth century, gaining particular popularity in Britain. Related forms include Innogen and the Irish name Imogene.
