It wasn't originally called 'Gothic'. It was called 'French style' architecture by those who built the structures in the Middle Ages. The term was first applied during the Renaissance by artists and builders who referred to medieval structures as 'Gothic' - a put down meaning Germanic, barbarian, non-Classical. The Renaissance, of course, was much more concerned with Classical Greek and Roman art than with medieval European.
