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 Template:Ill near Delft, the neighbourhood where Dirk Oem van Wijngaarden, one of the first settlers, grew up.[2] The village used to be call 't Wegje and had the status of a hamlet.[3]
