Often spelled as ‘jonglöörata’, so that a practicioner would be a ‘jonglööri’.
Ps., Finland is pretty big in contemporary circus circles :}
I got the word from Ciao Ciao Festival jonglöörauksen työpaja!. Jonglöörauksen has no entry on wiktionary, so I turned to Google translate which provided juggling as a translation. I then went to fi.m.wiktionary.org to look up juggling and eventually ended up with jongleerata.
Kiitos for the other spellings, those are both on wiktionary.
