I think that it is rather unattested in Gothic.
Wulfila calls the Romans "Rumons", but I think that it's possible that
it existed in Gothic also the word *wal(a)ha- or something like this.
The common Slavic word could been borrowed most probably from Gothic,
having in view that the oldest Germanic words in Common Slavic were
from Gothic, later also OHG and Old Norse.
