A yarmulke (pl: yarmulkes or yarmulkas ) is the name for a kippah (Hebrew for skullcap) in Yiddish, and the word is sometimes used by American Jews and often by non-Jews. Most Jews use the Hebrew word which is "kippa."
Answer:
Jewish males cover their heads with a kippa and/or a hat, as a reminder of the presence of God. This ancient practice is twice mentioned emphatically in the Talmud (Shabbat 156b; Kallah 1:16), in statements dating back 1700 and 1850 years, respectively. Even then, covering one's head is spoken of as an established practice, not something new.
The Yiddish word for kippah, "yarmulke," is a contraction of the Aramaic "yerei malkah": to be aware of the King.
Answer
A skullcap worn traditionally by religious Jews. The custom originated as a way of reminding oneself that God is above.
Answer
There is considerable debate among Halachic authorities as to whether or not wearing a kippa at all times is required. Jewish law dictates that a man is required to cover his head during prayer, and wearing a head covering outside of the synagogue was originally a custom.

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).
