The surname is not particularly common in Finland but can be found across the country. Like many Finnish surnames, its origins can be traced back to the 19th and early 20th centuries when formal surnames became more widespread. Before this period, many Finns used patronymic names, meaning their surname changed with each generation.

Individuals bearing the Skaalitakse surname have contributed to various fields in Finnish society, though there are no widely known public figures exclusively associated with this name. Its presence is more likely to be found within families and local communities.
