Golgotha

Golgotha is the site where Jesus was crucified. Matthew, Mark, and John provide the name in Aramaic (Golgotha) and Greek (Kranion), which is translated Skull in English (Matt. 27:33; Mark 15:22; John 19:17). Luke only has the Greek, which the KJV renders as the Latin, Calvary (Luke 23:33).

Both the location and story behind the name are unknown today, though many speculations exist. The site was near Jerusalem but outside its gates (John 19:20; Heb. 13:12). It is often assumed to be a hill, possibly due to its name, but there is no historical or Scriptural evidence for that.

Golgotha is not referred to in the Old Testament.

So they took Jesus, and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called The Place of a Skull, which in Aramaic is called Golgotha. There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them.   John 19:17-18
