What is the Jewish name for a Jewish kippah?

Another Jewish name for the kippah is "yarmulka", a word which is used in America and by Yiddish-speakers. The word "yarmulka" goes all the way back to the Aramaic; and it translates to "fear of the King"; because the skullcap's purpose is to remind us of God's presence.
