Where its name comes from

Kind of name: Symbolic name
Theme: Nature

Le nom proviendrait d'une traduction littérale de son nom flamand Stoevaertstraete ; stuiver signifiant sou ou sol. La première traduction serait peut-être plus cohérente, sachant que l'Hôtel des Finances se trouvait à proximité au théâtre siècle. (remark in French, as published)
