Best Answer

Golgotha is Aramaic 'golgolta' or Hebrew 'gulgaleto', meaning 'skull' or 'a place of a skull'. In English it is then Golgotha, in German Golgatha, in latin Calvary.

A well known Early Church Father described this in ca. 200 AD:

A spot there is called Golgotha,-of old the fathers' earlier tongue thus called its name, "The skull-pan of a head:" Origin Against Marcion Book II 259
