Funny how it says the origin is Hebrew because this name is mainly used on Arabs. Zakiyah (نقيه) is indeed a Muslim name with the Arabic meaning of "pure". [noted -ed] In Hebrew, Zakia (זכיה) actually means "winning" or "gaining" and is never used as a name for Jewish people. However, Zaka (זַכַּה) is a real Hebrew name. It is a word from right out of the Bible in the Book of Job. It means "won".
