According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Gotina was the possible daughter of Rabold Graf an der Amper. Graf Rabold has not been identified and the reasoning behind this speculative origin is not known. It may be based on the supposed onomastic connection between "Rabold" and "Ratold", the name first used in the Ebersberg family for Gotina's older son, both possibly derived from "Ratbold".
The Chronico Eberspergensi Posteriore names "Gottina" as wife of "Sighardus comes", specifying that she died a few days after her husband "in vigilia sancti Thome apostolic" and was buried with her husband. The necrology of Ebersberg records the death "XIII Kal Dec" of "Cotini com uxor Sigihardi". 1
