Imogen

Imogen is a English feminine name of Celtic origin. It is derived from the Welsh elements 'in' meaning 'maiden' and 'mogen' meaning 'birth' or 'offspring'.

The name rose to prominence through its use in the play 'Cymbeline' by William Shakespeare, where it was the name of the daughter of the British king Cymbeline.

Imogen is also sometimes interpreted as a variant of the Germanic name Imogen, meaning 'unbounded'.

The name has been in use since the 17th century and has remained popular in English-speaking countries, particularly in the United Kingdom.
