The place where Jesus was crucified is called Calvary.
Our English word “Calvary” comes from the Latin calvaria. This word is a translation of the Greek kranion, meaning “skull.”
The Greek is a translation of the Aramaic golgotha, also meaning “skull.” The word is used twice in the Greek translation of the Old Testament (Judg. 9:53; 2 Kings 9:35) to designate the skulls of Abimelech and Jezebel.
So Calvary, Place of the Skull, or Golgotha may all be used by translators.
(Matt. 27:33; Mark 15:22; John 19:17)

He was crucified on a cross at Golgotha, or "Skull Hill," near Jerusalem. Another name for this hill is Calvary.

In John 19:17 it says that he carried his own cross and he went to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha).
