===Golgotha (Γολγοθᾶ)===
[[Gospel of Mark|Mark]] 15:22
: ''And they took him up to the place [[Golgotha]], which is translated Place of the Skull.''
[[Gospel of John|John]] 19:17
: ''And carrying his cross by himself, he went out to the so-called Place of the Skull, which is called in 'Hebrew' [[Golgotha]].''

''Gagūltā'' Aramaic, means 'skull'. The name appears in all of the gospels except Luke, which calls the place simply ''Kranion'' (Κρανίον)  'the Skull' in Greek, with no Semitic counterpart. The name '[[Calvary]]' is taken from the Latin [[Vulgate]] translation, Calvaria.

In Aramaic, it could be ܓܓܘܠܬܐ. Though this word has the Aramaic final form ''-ta'' / ''-tha'', it is otherwise also closer to the [[Hebrew]] word for skull, ''gulgolet'' גולגולת, than to the Aramaic form.
