This street may take its name from the house of that name "Alt-Min" which was the home of an important business man William Falconer who died in 1930. The 1910 Belfast Street Directory lists under Knockbreda Road, "Alt-Min Falconer, William, manufacturers' agent". There is an advert in the Belfast News-Letter - Wednesday 15 May 1968 which contains details of the sale by private treaty of Alt-Min.
