It derives its name from the church of the Order of Saint John (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venerable_Order_of_Saint_John), in the early 16th century found north of the eastern part of the alley. Records mentions the knightly order, with a presence in the city dating back to the 1330s, as owner of the site in 1499, and tells the church was inaugurated by a bishop from Strängnäs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Str%C3%A4ngn%C3%A4s) in 1514. Following the Reformation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protestant_Reformation), the church was demolished a few years after 1530 and the site became royal property.
