On this Discussion about naming, Corney Keller notes the following:
If you consider the spelling of his name(s) in his own life time, 'Isaac' would be a good option but it is better if you give them all.

Consider the following:

- at his own baptism (NL-SAA-24742463) 1688 - Isack

- when he joins the VOC (NL-NaHa-1.04.02 7-5673-186) 1715 - Isaac Nieuhout

- when his children are baptized (http://www.eggsa.org/sarecords/index.php/church-registers/cape-town...) 1718 - Isaac Niewout 1720 - Isaac Niewout 1724 - Isaac Nieuhout 1725 - Isaac Nuhout 1727 - Isaak Nieuwout 1730 - Isaac Niewout 1732 - Isak Nieuwout

Note by CN - Unconfirmed info:

When Isaak Nieuwoudt was born in 1690 in Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Netherlands, his father, Jeremias, was 32 and his mother, Helena, was 29. He married Johanna van Wyk on 6 February 1724. They had six children in 15 years. He died in 1732 in South Africa at the age of 42.

A native of Amsterdam, arrived at the Cape as a soldier in 1716, apparently accompanied by a wife. Following the death of his spouse, Nieuwoudt was wed to Anna van Wyk (or Johanna van Wijk?) and his two marriages produced a total 8 kids. The following information is yet to be linked to this Isaak Nieuwoudt. It is said to be from the Historical Research Centre. "The Dutch family name Nieuwoudt is classified as being of habitation name origin. Habitation names are those family names which are derived from the name or the town or village from whence he hailed. In some instances, a habitation name refer to a residence which was distinguished by a sign or engraving, usually displayed over the door. In this particular instance, the name Nieuwoudt, which can be literally translated as "new forest" would have referred initially to one who dwelled within or, at the edge of, a forest that was so described. It is more likely that the term Nieuwoudt would have designated a forest that lay within a newly-settled area, than that it would have denoted a wood of recently planted trees. There may one have been a village or small town called Nieuwoudt whence the original bearer of the surname hailed, but research has uncovered no evidence of this. While many Dutch family names have been in existence for hundreds of years, particularly among the nobility and merchant classes, the use of hereditary surnames amongst the more isolated rural population has only been established within the last two hundred years. This name was introduced to South Africa by Isaak Nieuwoudt, a native of Amsterdam who arrived at the Cape as a soldier in 1716, apparently accompanied by a wife. Following the death of his spouse, Nieuwoudt was wed to Anna van Wyk and his two marriages produced a total of eight children. To date, there is no record of a coat of arms associated with this surname.
