 Merchants from the famous crafts town of Gabrovo used to lodge at the inn when selling their products in the city.The inn was named after these merchants, as was the street on which it is located, a name that has survived into the 21st century.It was among the seven large inns in Bucharest that did not incorporate a church (the others being Manuc's Inn, Constantin Vodǎ, Papazoglu, Golescu, Zamfir and Filipescu inns).
