NAME

Etymology and Use

The word Calvary (Lat. Calvaria) means "a skull". Calvaria and the Gr. Kranion are equivalents for the original Golgotha. The ingenious conjecture that Golgotha may be a contraction for Gol Goatha and may accordingly have signified "mount of execution", and been related to Goatha in Jer., xxxi, 39, has found scarcely any supporters. The diminutive monticulus (little mount) was coupled with the name A.D. 333 by the "Pilgrim of Bordeaux".

Towards the beginning of the fifth century Rufinus spoke of "the rock of Golgotha". Since the sixth century the usage has been to designate Calvary as a mountain. The Gospel styles it merely a "place", (Matthew 27:33; Mark 15:22; Luke 23:33; John 19:17).

Origin of the Name

The following theories have been advanced:

* Calvary may have been a place of public execution, and so named from the skulls strewn over it. The victims were perhaps abandoned to become a prey to birds and beasts, as Jezabel and Pharao's baker had been (2 Kings 9:35; Genesis 40:19, 22).
* Its name may have been derived from a cemetery that may have stood near. There is no reason for believing that Joseph's tomb, in which the body of Christ was laid, was an isolated one, especially since it was located in the district later on described by Josephus as containing the monument of the high-priest John. This hypothesis has the further advantage of explaining the thinness of the population in this quarter at so late a period as that of the siege of Jerusalem (Jos., Bell. jud., V, vi, 2). Moreover, each of the rival Calvaries of to-day is near a group of ancient Jewish tombs.

Answer 3

different editors over time.

Gol’gotha means a skull in Hebrew - and was the name of the spot at which Jesus was crucified. (Matthew 27:33; Mark 15:22; John 19:17)

Many later editions of the Bible in Latin took these three accounts to mean the "place of a skull."

Roman Catholic pilgrims took the name to mean that it was a spot where executions ordinarily took place, and therefore abounded in skulls. Where as Constantine read it literelly as the look or form of the spot itself, bald, round and skull-like, and therefore a mound or hillock.

The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, within the walled Old City of Jerusalem is venerated by most Christians as Golgotha and has been an important pilgrimage destination since the 4th century.
Its construction by Constantine's mother - Saint Helena, was on the site of temple of Venus - built on top as part of Hadrian's reconstruction of Jerusalem as Aelia Capitolina in 135AD.

The greek translation of skull is Kranion and the bible then was translated in to latin, so the Latin term Calvaria was used, or Calvary is the English-language name given to the hill on which Jesus was crucified.

Calvaria is used in the Roman Catholic Church, Κρανιου Τοπος (Kraniou Topos) in Greek Orthadox Churches and Gûlgaltâ in Aramaic (Armenian and Asyrian Coptic Churches) - They all mean 'skull'.

The Anglican church however, After time spent in Palestine in 1882-83, by Charles George Gordon - suggested a different location for Calvary. The Garden Tomb is to the north of the Holy Sepulchre, located outside of the modern Damascus Gate, in a place of burial certainly in the Byzantine period.

Answer 4

In Luke 23:33, we have, "And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left." The word for Calvary is the Greek, kranion (kran-ee'-on), which means "skull." "Calvary" is the Latin, which was used in the English Bible instead of translating it again.

Answer 5

Sam is correct, both words mean skull. `The place of skulls`.

Answer 8

It comes from the Canadian word, "Calgary", where they have a cattle stampede.
