No, although the term "Gothic" was inspired by the Goths. Giorgio Vasari (1511-1574), the sixteenth-century artist and author who wrote "The Lives of the most excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects," used the term "Gothic" ("de' Gotti" or similar) to refer to German (i.e., Northern European) architecture. He is using it in a disparaging sense (it looks "ridiculous" to his eyes) to set up a contrast with what Italians subsequently produced, which (in his view) was a more perfect style influenced by antiquity.

For Vasari the Goths were barbarous and associated with the destruction of classical antiquity in the Italian peninsula (although he also believes art was in decline even before their arrival). Hence his association of unattractive (to him) Northern European architecture with foreign "barbarians."

This is often cited as the earliest use of the term "Gothic" (1550 or 1568).
