Yxsmedsgränd

Yxsmedsgränd is an alley in Gamla stan, the old town in central Stockholm, Sweden.

In 1684, the part below Lilla Nygränd was named Uttermarksgränden after the accountant Daniel Benktsson Uttermark who owned a property there.

The uppermost part of the alley between Västerlånggatan and Stora Nygatan, the part originally called Yskemes gränd, is referred to as Sigfrid Olofssons gränd in 1589 and 1621 while a property there is referred to as Yskemetshuset ("house of Yskemet") in 1616 and 1618.

The name then appears in various forms during the middle of the century, the corrupted version dominating historical documents by 1673.
