Acts 1:19

Everyone in Jerusalem heard about this, so they called that field in their language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.

However Judas died, he had bought a field presumably with money from his betrayal of Jesus. He died in that field. Everyone in the city heard of this so whether they called it Akeldama because of his dying blood or because of the dying blood of Jesus which his betrayal led to we do not know.
But it was a field of blood.

People are watching your life.
You don’t live alone.
What are you going to leave behind? A home? A legacy? Your values of life?
What are they going to call your field?
Will it be something that will indicate that you have walked away from the Lord or walked with Him?
Will it be the blood of Jesus who has changed you?
Will it be the blood of man where you have fought many fights won many enemies and your anger is ever before you?
What is in your hands?
