The closest word in the English language for Kippah (pl. Kippot) is skullcap. Tallit means cover or cloak. Tefillin doesn't actually have an exact translation, as its entymology is unknown; however, it is usually translated as "phylacteries" which is a Greek word that means "things which guard" or thereabouts.
