The official term form zebra is "hemaar az-zarad" (حمار الزرد), which literally means "armored donkey", but it is likely that the term "zarad" was used not because it means "armored", but because it sounds somewhat like the word "zebra" in English.
There are other terms as well, such as "al-hemaar al-mokhattet" (الحمار المخطط), which literally means "striped donkey" and "hemaar al-wahsh" (حمار الوحش), which literally means "wild donkey".
