Name[edit]

The municipality (originally theparish) was originally named after the oldNæssebyfarm since the firstNesseby Churchwas built there. The first element comes from the wordneswhich means "headland".The last element isbywhich means "town". Thus it's the "town on the headland".[9]Historically, the name of the municipality was spelledNæsseby.On 3 November 1917, aroyal resolutionchanged the spelling of the name of the municipality toNesseby.[10]

In 1989, the municipality formally changed its name toUnjárga-Nesseby.[11]It was the second municipality in Norway to get aSaminame. This name was the old Sami name for the area. The meaning of the first element (u-) in the Sami name is unknown and the last element isnjárgawhich means "headland". In 2005, the name was again changed, such that eitherUnjárgaorNessebycan be used.[12]The spelling of the Sami language name changes depending on how it is used. It is calledUnjárgawhen it is spelled alone, but it isUnjárgga gieldawhen using the Sami language equivalent to "Nesseby municipality".[13]

This means the arms have a redfield(background) and thechargeis acloudberryplant (Rubus chamaemorus). The cloudberry plant has atinctureofOrwhich means it is commonly colored yellow, but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used. Cloudberry plants are commonly found in the municipality and theFinnmarkregion, growing in marshes and wet fields. The berries are collected and eaten locally as well as commercially exported to other parts of Norway. The berries are at first red, but when ripe they get a golden or orange colour, so the colour combination of yellow and red was used on the arms to represent this. The arms were designed by Arvid Sveen.[14][15][16]

This was short-lived, however, since the two were merged back together in 1858. On 1 January 1864, Nesseby Municipality was re-created from the western district of Vadsø landdistrikt. The initial population (this time) was 886. On 1 January 1903, the western part of Nesseby Municipality (population: 450) was separated to form the newPolmak Municipality.[18]

On 1 January 2020, the municipality became part of the newly formedTroms og Finnmarkcounty. Previously, it had been part of the oldFinnmarkcounty.[19]On 1 January 2024, theTroms og Finnmarkcounty was divided and the municipality once again became part ofFinnmarkcounty.[20]
