Yes! Everyone goes to hell whether you're saved or lost. The word hell is a transliteration of the word sheol and hades both of which mean the grave. The Catholic church went one step further and said hell is a place where people are alive burning forever. That world mean the wicked would have to get eternal life.

hell (n.)
Old English hel, helle, "nether world, abode of the dead, infernal regions," from Proto-Germanic *haljo "the underworld" (cognates: f. Old Frisian helle, Dutch hel, Old Norse hel, German Hölle, Gothic halja "hell") "the underworld," literally "concealed place" (compare Old Norse hellir "cave, cavern"), from PIE *kel- (2) "to cover, conceal" (see cell).
This is about what I have always understood the etymology of hell to be. Also, I have read that it is named for Hölle, the goddess of the dead.
As for the word, sheol, sheol is the translteration from the Hebrew word שׁאול pronounced the same. Sheol is the world of the dead, the pit.

A lot of misinformation there. . .
Sheol and Hades were mistranslated "hell" in the KJV.
Sheol is the place of the dead, consisting of two parts:
Paradise - spirits of the righteous departed,
Hades - spirits of the unrighteous departed.
Nope. . .
Jesus is the one who informs us of eternal fire (Mt 5:22, 29, 30, 10:28; Mk 9:43-47).
Then there is Mt 23:15, 33, 13:42, 25:36; Php 3:19; 2Th 1:9; Heb 10:39; 2Pe 2:17; Jude 13;
Rev 2:11, 19:20, 20:6, 10, 14, 21:8.
Have you read the NT?

Have you read the NT?
It is not true that Jews deny the son any more than it would be true if it was said that gentiles deny the Son. Many gentiles deny not only the son, but God. Often, Jews deny that Christ as He lived on earth was the Son, while not denying that the Son mentioned all through the OT was the Son. Often, in the same way, Christians who recognize Christ as Christ lived with us and was crucified was God, also deny that the Father spoke to us in the OT.
True Christians know both as One.
