Both the park, and the famous bridge nearby, are named for the Golden Gate, the strait that connects the San Francisco Bay with the Pacific Ocean.
The strait itself is named as an homage to the ornate Golden Gate that guarded the great city of Constantinople (now Istanbul, Turkey) from the 5th until the 14th century.
