Notteroy is a municipality in Vestfold county, Norway. The administrative centre of the municipality is the village of Borgheim. The parish of Nøtterø was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). Two islands were later transferred from the municipality of Stokke to Nøtterøy: Håøya (in 1901) and Veierland (in 1964). The whole municipality is made up of a small island group south of Tønsberg municipality, including the islands of Nøtterøy, Føynland, Veierland, and about 175 smaller islands. Nøtterøy includes the villages of Borgheim, Glomstein, Teie, and Torød.
The Old Norse form of the name was Njótarvin (Njotarin) from Njót and vin. The name of the island “Njót” and “vin” meaning pastures or farm. The name is probably derived from the verb njóta which means to “enjoy” or “benefit from” (referring to fishing or agriculture). Prior to 1918, the name was spelled “Nøtterø”.
