The Gothic name for Ravenna is ππ°π±π°πΉπ½π½π° (Rabainna) [raΞ²ΙΛnΛa]/[ravΙΛnΛa]. Finding this out is as easy as finding the word βRavennaβ in Wikipedia and then switching the article to the Gothic language. https://got.wikipedia.org/wiki/ππ°π±π°πΉπ½π½π°

Gothic is mainly preserved in the form of incomplete Bibles, of which the most well known is the Codex Argenteus (now in Uppsala).
Apart from these, there are a few very short texts, most of which are also dealing with religious matters. The Wulfila project collects almost everything there is, and is also hosting a dictionary (from 1919, but since then, the only text has been found is one of the missing pages from the Codex Argenteus). The closest word to "Ravenna" in the dictionary is probably "Raibaikka", 'Rebecca'
There are a couple more sources for Gothic, but they are equally silent on this matter: a few very short runic inscriptions, and the short dictionary of Crimean Gothic Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq produced in the 16th century. The Wulfila dictionary might have missed a gloss of the city name in some text mainly in another language, but that seems very unlikely.
