The verb form is not passive here, since known is an adjective rather than a participle. Even so, it may be helpful to your readers to make it the object rather than the subject. Alternate translation: [all those living in Jerusalem heard about it]

γνωστὸν ἐγένετο πᾶσι τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν Ἰερουσαλήμ
known ˱it˲_became ˱to˲_all the_‹ones› dwelling_in Jerusalem
Luke says all as a generalization for emphasis. Alternate translation: [it became well known to those living in Jerusalem]

If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this with an active form. Alternate translation: [So they called that field]

Akeldamach
Akeldama is an Aramaic word. Luke spells it out using Greek letters so his readers will know how it sounds, and then he says what it means, Field of Blood. In your translation you can spell it the way it sounds in your language and then explain its meaning.
1:13-26 While the apostles waited for the promised gift of the Holy Spirit (1:4-5), the whole company of 120 disciples in Jerusalem engaged in earnest prayer (1:13-14) and then appointed an apostle to replace Judas Iscariot (1:15-26).
