What Does the Name Imajean Mean?
Imajean is a rare feminine given name used in the United States. Its meaning is uncertain because the name is not well documented in etymological sources. It is sometimes treated as a spelling variant of Imogene, a name whose own origin is disputed: one explanation derives it from Gaelic inghean, meaning 'daughter' or 'maiden,' while another connects it to Latin innocens, meaning 'innocent.' Imajean could instead be a compound of the names Ima and Jean. In that case, Jean, the French form of John, means 'God is gracious,' and Ima has more than one possible origin. No single derivation is firmly established.
Imajean Name History & Origins
Imajean is a rare feminine name used mainly in the United States. Its history is closely tied to the name Imogen if it is a variant of Imogene. Shakespeare used Imogen for the heroine of Cymbeline (around 1611); the name may have been an altered form of Innogen, which appears in his chronicle sources. Imogene is a later spelling of Imogen. Imajean replaces the final element with Jean, the French form of John, a common second element in American compound names for girls such as Betty Jean or Mary Jean. If Imajean instead developed as a compound of Ima and Jean, it would follow that same American pattern. The specific path by which Imajean entered use is not well documented.
