History & Origin
Emmagene is an early-twentieth-century American compound of Emma and Gene, in the era's fashion for joined double names. Its sound also links it to Imogene, then in vogue.
The name was always modest, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak around 1926, and it faded with the fashion. A woman named Emmagene then would be elderly today; the name reads as warmly antique.
