Zakiya

Zakiya, Zakia, Zakiyah, Zakiyya or Zakieh may represent two different female given names of Arabic origin, namely Arabic: زكية (zakiat), meaning "pure", corresponding to 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]
