It is called either a yarmulka or a kippa. It represents that a Jewish man is under the covering of G-d; that we are submitted to Him. It's a sign of submission.

It is a skullcap, sometimes called a Kippa or a Yarmulke, worn as a standard headcovering by male Jews (and sometimes female) in deference to God. It is a tradition for all males and married women to cover their heads.

I am not Jewish. But a hat can often mean submission, say, to accept being under someone's authority.
So I would guess the Yamaka means to except God as their authority, and to follow him.

Do you mean Yamulkah (skull cap)? It shows reverence towards God, by not letting him see the top of your head, I think. It is probably one of the 613 commandments in the Old Testament/Torah.
