Kiikare

Kiikare is a Finnish surname. It is derived from the Finnish word "kiikari," which means binoculars or spyglass. The surname is likely occupational, given to someone who made or used such optical instruments. As with many surnames, its exact origin and the specific families who first adopted it are not widely documented in public records. The surname is relatively uncommon in Finland. Variations in spelling are possible due to historical transcription practices, though "Kiikare" appears to be the most prevalent form. Individuals with this surname can be found primarily within Finland, and also in diaspora communities. Further genealogical research would be required to trace specific family lines and their historical movements.
