Well you have to read that article little bit further and you'll see that there explanations which I copy pasted like that Gol Goatha means mount of execution, but from what I see Christians don't hold much to that.
In any case what ever name is Gol Goatha or Golgotha or Calvary the place does not exist. There are many competing sites that claim it's location. For instance in 325 Constantine's mother, the Empress Helena "discovered" the True Site of Cavalry - right on top of a sacred shrine to Aphrodite. It’s also truly remarkable how often sacred sites do double duty for rival religions, like Vatican that was built a short distance from the headquarters for Roman god Janus who held the keys to the gates of heaven.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
