Zakiya
Zakia, Zakiya, Zakiyah, Zakiyya or Zakieh may represent two different female given names of Muslim origin, namely Arabic: زكية (zakiat), meaning "pure", corresponding the male name Zaki, and Arabic: ذكيه (ḏakiyya), meaning "intelligent".[1][2]
Zakiah (Hebrew: זַכִּיָה), also spelt Zakiya, Zakia, Zakiyah, or Zakayah,[3] is a Hebrew female given name also meaning "pure".[3][4] It may be used as a Hebrew equivalent of Katherine, owing to Katherine's supposed Greek derivation from katharos "pure".[5]
