In Western Europe the churches and some other public buildings built during the Middle Ages had a distinctive style that was at first called 'gothic' (barbarian) out of contempt by comparison with the standard romanesque style that had prevailed for several centuries. After further developments in architectural style, such a Greek revival (putting up buildings that looked like the Parthenon), churches of the 19th century were built in a 'gothic revival' style which not not genuine but copied the external appearance of the medieval gothic cathedrals. The US has a lot of gothic revival churches and cathedrals.

The name likely stuck due to its association with the Middle Ages and the perceived darkness of the style.
