sentences:  The alley was named "Erik Ingemundssons gränd" ("Alley of Erik Ingemundsson") in 1619, in reference to the mayor (1581–1622) who owned a property in the alley.While the present name appears in historical records as "Öfwerskiärare gränden" in 1684, and a certain "Absalon överskärare" is mentioned in 1643 as having bought a property near that of the mayor, it remains uncertain which of the masters of the trade gave his name to the alley.Notwithstanding, an "överskärare" was an occupation which could be translated to "wool cloth finisher", a man who would go over carded wool with a pair of scissors to remove upstanding hairs in order to make the cloth perfectly smooth, masters of the trade being merchants with their own workshops.
