Etymology
Heaven originally meant the open 'sky' or a very 'high' place where people imagined the gods lived. That's why in many religions heaven became the name for the home of God and the place good people go after death. A helpful way to remember it is to think of the word heave, which means 'to lift up', because heaven was seen as 'up' above the earth.
