In Arabic, Zakayyah is the feminine form of the name Zaki. Both of these names come from a root that means "pure." It is also a feminine name in Hebrew, with the same meaning. In English, this form is often spelled Zakiah. In the Old Testament, this name was used in its masculine form, Zacchaeus (this is the English/Greek version of the name). Zacchai is the Hebrew masculine form.See Also: Zakaya
