Imogen

Imogen is a name of uncertain origin, first appearing in William Shakespeare's play Cymbeline (1611), where it is believed to have resulted from a misprint of Innogen, a name derived from the Old Celtic root meaning maiden or girl. Some scholars suggest a connection to the Gaelic name Inghean, meaning daughter or girl, while others propose a Latin influence. The name remained rare outside the British Isles for centuries but gained broader use in the English-speaking world during the twentieth century. Variants and related forms include Innogen and Imogene.
