Imogen , or Imogene, is a female given name. It is thought (but not confirmed) to have originated as a misspelling or variation of the name Innogen, from the Old Irish Ingen meaning "maiden" or "girl".

Innogen was known as the name of a legendary British queen. The first recorded use of Imogen is by Shakespeare for a British princess in his play Cymbeline. Shakespeare may well have written Innogen, and it was printed as Imogen by mistake, thereafter becoming an accepted form of the name. On the other hand, it may have been a variation that already existed, and Shakespeare simply provided the oldest written record which survived. Many have considered it a misprint. The form Innogen is rare. Shakespeare used the older form Innogen for a ghost character in early editions of Much Ado About Nothing.

The legendary British queen Innogen was supposedly wife to King Brutus and mother of Locrinus, Albanactus and Camber.
