Kippah is a Yiddish word (ירמולקא)
deriving from the Polish word jarmułka, meaning "cap",
ultimately possibly of Turkish origin.
A folk etymology proposes that it is derived from an
Aramaic phrase, yarei malka, meaning "fear of the King
[i.e. God]," or from the Hebrew, ya'arei me'Elokai,
"those who tremble before the Lord."
The Hebrew-language equivalent, kippah (כיפה), plural
kippot (כיפות), actually means "dome", same as Arabic
Qubbah (قبة). The Gothic word kappel (cf. chapel)
still exists in the Yiddish term (קאפל) today and
survives in the Viennese dialect word kappl (hat). The
equivalent of the Hebrew word is the French calotte
and the Italian calotta, both referring to an
architectural dome.
