Golgotha is the Aramaic name (גָּלְגָּלְתָּא) for the place where Jesus was crucified, meaning 'skull' or 'place of the skull.' All four Gospels identify this location, with the Synoptics providing the Aramaic name and its Greek translation (kranion, from which Latin 'Calvary' derives). The precise location remains debated—Church of the Holy Sepulchre and Gordon's Calvary are the main proposed sites. The name may derive from the skull-like appearance of the rocky outcrop or from its association with executions. It lay outside the city walls, as required for ceremonially unclean execution sites.
