Zakiya

Zakiya, Zakia, Zakiyah, Zakiyya or Zakieh may represent two different female given names of Arabic origin, namely (zakiat), meaning "pure", corresponding to the male name Zaki, and (ḏakiyya), meaning "intelligent".

Zakiah (), also spelt Zakiya, Zakia, Zakiyah, or Zakayah, is a Hebrew female given name also meaning "pure". It may be used as a Hebrew equivalent of Katherine, owing to Katherine's supposed Greek derivation from katharos "pure".
