Imogen

Traditional British feminine name

Imogen is a feminine given name, traditionally British, popularized by Shakespeare's play *Cymbeline*—though scholars believe Shakespeare intended "Innogen" and a printer's error created the form we know.

The name suggests nobility and virtue: Imogen was named after her grandmother.

It remains more common in the UK than in America.
