The surname Uskoin is relatively uncommon. Like many Finnish surnames, its origins are often tied to the natural landscape, religious affiliations, or personal qualities of early bearers. While precise historical records for every surname are scarce, the etymological root points to a connection with religious sentiment or perhaps a historical figure named Usko.

Families bearing the Uskoin surname are primarily found in Finland. As with many surnames, migration has led to its presence in other countries, particularly those with significant Finnish diaspora populations, such as Sweden, the United States, and Canada.
