History
The village was first mentioned in 1958 as Nij-Altoenae. Nij (new) was added to distinguish between Altoenae. Altoenae was the former name of Sint Annaparochie which was named after the estate {{ill|Altena, Delft|nl|Altena (Delft)|lt=Altena}} near Delft, the neighbourhood where Dirk Oem van Wijngaarden, one of the first settlers, grew up.{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/nijaltoenae |title=Nij Altoenae - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=4 April 2022 |language=nl}} The village used to be call 't Wegje and had the status of a hamlet.{{cite web|url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/nij-altoenae |title=Nij Altoenae |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=4 April 2022 |language=nl}}
