What is it called when you cut some one's head off?

I think the word you're looking for is "decapitation", from the Latin "capo", meaning head. Another term is "guillotine", from the name of the machine used for executions during the French Revolution's Reign of Terror. I presume you are not looking for the obvious "beheading".
