Meaning: Imajean is a run-together double name, blending Imogene (or the short Imma) with Jean.

History & Origin
Imajean reflects the old custom of joining a first name to the middle Jean into one flowing word, common in the early 1900s American South. The first element points to Imogene, from the Celtic Innogen, 'maiden,' while Jean brings the meaning of John, 'God is gracious,' giving the compound a gentle, traditional ring.
Imajean appeared mainly from the 1920s through the 1940s and had faded by mid-century. A woman named Imajean at its peak would belong to the great-grandparent generation now, a true period double-name.
