Lilla Hoparegränd

Lilla Hoparegränd is an alley in Gamla stan, the old town of Stockholm, Sweden.

Passing between Skeppsbron and Österlånggatan it forms a parallel street to Ferkens Gränd, Gaffelgränd, Pelikansgränd and Johannesgränd.

The street appears in historical records as Wargzfrenden in 1550, Warge Grenden in 1646, Vargsgränden during the 16th-17th centuries and finally as Lilla Hopare gr.

The present name refers to a Michel Hoper or Hopare.

Hoper is of Dutch or Frisian origin and means hooper (e.g. maker of barrels).
