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 in the Talmud (Shabbat 156b; Kallah 1:16).
The Yiddish word for kippah, "yarmulke," 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).
