An uncommon Celtic pick — distinctive and rare.
Alternative form of Imogen.
Imogene is a girl's and boy's baby name of Celtic origin, an alternate form of Imogen, a name first appearing in Shakespeare's Cymbeline. The origin is debated — possibly from the Gaelic inghean meaning 'maiden,' or possibly a printer's error for 'Innogen.' Either way, its Shakespearean pedigree gives it enduring literary grace.
Imogene climbed 9577 spots in the last 20 years — from #12041 to #2464.
