It is only called Good Friday in English. This is from the Catholic Encyclopedia:

Good Friday, called Feria VI in Parasceve in the Roman Missal, he hagia kai megale paraskeue (the Holy and Great Friday) in the Greek Liturgy, Holy Friday in Romance Languages, Charfreitag (Sorrowful Friday) in German, is the English designation of Friday in Holy Week - that is, the Friday on which the Church keeps the anniversary of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
