Yes, his name is only mentioned in the Unfinished Tales, and as seen in other cases some of the information mentioned in the book is not to be taken as true.
I personally could see another similarity between the 1st Age and 3rd Age Gothmog.
The first one of the most important servants of Melkor, the second of Sauron.
I would speculate that it was Sauron that gave him this name as a symbol of his power and importance, mirroring the First Age character.
