Like many Finnish surnames, it became more common during the late 19th and early 20th centuries when surnames were adopted more widely across the country. Information on specific prominent individuals with the surname Juurikasa is not widely documented in general public records. Genealogical research would be required to trace the origins and spread of specific family lines bearing this name. The surname is predominantly found in Finland.
