Explanation

Calvary means 'the place of a skull' - it is the Latin name for Golgotha, the hill outside Jerusalem where Jesus was crucified. The name comes from Aramaic 'gulgulta' meaning skull. It is not a place for wild animals, a graveyard (though nearby), or 'the place of Holly' (which appears to be a misspelling of 'holy').
