There are a few terms for the "beanie" that the Jewish man wears. One of these is the yamulke, a term that the Askenazi community uses. Another is the kippah, which is the term that seems to have become more popular in recent years. In both cases, it is the men's covering to denote his submission to God's Will.

∙ 6y agoThe little cap worn by Jewish men is called a Kippah, or Yarmulke.
Jewish males cover their heads with a kippa and/or a hat, as a reminder of the presence of God. This practice is twice mentioned emphatically in the Talmud (Shabbat 156b; Kallah 1:16), in statements dating back 1700 and 1850 years, respectively. Even then, covering one's head is spoken of as an established practice, not something new.
The Yiddish word for kippah, "yarmulkah," is a contraction of the Aramaic "yerei malkah": to be aware of the King.
Note that Jewish married women traditionally cover their hair (Talmud, Ketubot 72b). This is for the purpose of modesty - only her husband should see her beauty - since the hair is considered beautiful (Talmud, Berakhot 24a).
