Around 1875, several businesses in the area suggested renaming it to its current name, citing that the old name was trivial and often mixed up with other local names (Saltmätaregränden ("The salt Measurer's Alley"), now Gåsgränd, and Saltmätaregatan, in today's Vasastaden), and the City Council remained silent on the matter.
