So, Gotama means that the son of Gotami?
Yes we can say that. Also I have read that his gotra(his lineage name) was Gautama hence he was called Siddharth Gautama.

Gotama is a name used by the clan following the lineage of the family priest (purohita). This was the established custom in those days.
