About Trosa
According to place name researchers the name is likely connected to the old islandic word “traður” (reluctant, unwilling) and refers to the calm and gentle flow of the Trosa stream. Another explanation is that Trosa originates from the word “os”, which means stream mouth. Trosa is mentioned for the first time in writing in a mideval document from the year 1383. The name Trosa was used long before the name for the garment was coiled. You can read more about Trosa’s history here.
