The word 'kippah' is the Hebrew name for the skullcap worn by Jews. Saying "Jewish kippah" is redundant as a kippah is a Jewish item.
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.
