I was thinking about calling it Shaman because of the mostly African nature of zebra and the religious nature of the bishop.
Also I see no picture for bishop-zebra in allfairy many. Can someone make one and add it to the apothecary piece set instead of the lone zebra (letters Z&z)?

While the name Shaman has the advantage of being easily recognizable and understood, it is a generic term and not at all exclusive to Africa. Witch doctor is not as general and may be used for African shamans. I learned from the Wikipedia article on Witch doctor that the term Sangoma is used in southern Africa. I also checked where zebras are in Africa, and it is mostly in southern Africa.
If someone with editing picture skills sees this, please make an zebra-bishop picture and add it instead of the plane zebra picture at z.
I have uploaded and added it to the Alfaerie: Many set as ".BZ" and ".bz"
Regarding your request to add it instead of the plain zebra picture at Z, which piece set? I cannot edit a piece set that is already using the Z in other games or their zebras would turn into bishop-zebras.
I wanted to add it to the apothecary chess standard piece set. The zebra is not used in any currently playing games but it is used in a preset. I have deleted the used Z,z temporarilly.
Where in the site is the picture in question?
@HG I cannot use the image saved by Greg as it is only in the allfaeriePNG. It seems that the interactive diagrams don't work with files here, as I have tried to change the directory. BTW Have you understood the earlier situation where the shuffling of pieces in now also non-symmetrical?
I also added a GIF version it to the regular Alfaerie directory. Just use "zebrabishop" as the filename.

Is there a consecrated name for such a piece?
