A yarmulke is a small, brimless cap worn by Jewish people. Men and boys usually wear them, but some women and girls wear them, too. Yarmulke is a Yiddish word that sounds kind of like “yah-ma-kah.†... The Hebrew name for yarmulke is kippah
As a sign of devotion, Jewish men wear a skull cap called a Yarmulke, Kippah, or Hech Cap. Jewish women may do so, too in some Conservative and Reform Communities, but never in Orthodox communities.
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).
