What language does Golgotha come from?

Golgotha comes from Aramaic, an ancient Semitic language spoken in the region of Judea during the time of Jesus.

The Aramaic word "גולגולתא" (Golgoltā) translates to "skull" or "place of the skull". This is likely a reference to the shape of the hill where Jesus was crucified, possibly due to a resemblance to a skull or because it was a place where skulls were left after executions.
