What Does the Name Image Mean?
Image is an English word meaning "likeness" or "representation." It comes from Old French image, from Latin imago (genitive imaginis), a noun for an image, likeness, statue, or apparition. The English word is not a compound with separately meaningful parts; its sense rests on the Latin noun. As a given name, Image has no separate etymology and would normally be understood as the English common noun used as a name.
Image Name History & Origins
The word entered English from Old French image, which descends from Latin imago. In Latin, imago could mean a physical likeness such as a portrait, statue, or mask, and also a mental picture or phantom. English extended the term to visual representations generally, to figures in speech and writing, and to public perception.
Any use of Image as a personal name rests on the English vocabulary word rather than on an older personal name. The similar-looking Imogen and Imogene are separate names with their own etymologies.
