calaca

Derived from calavera, from Latin calvaria, likely influenced by Ancient Greek Γολγοθᾶ (Golgothâ) from Aramaic גולגולת (“skull”) used as the name of the execution site of Christ in the New Testament; see also Calvary and Golgotha. Probably influenced by sound-symbolism in view of the unusual development and duplicated syllable.
