They are referred to several times as "the daughters of the Rhine" or
"children of the Rhime".  (Loge:  "...den Rheintöchtern gehört diess
Gold:"  And later, "Des Rheines Kinder beklagen des Goldes Raub.")    

I think that's as specific as they get, but it's pretty clear from this
that their father is the Rhine.  (This is mythology, don't forget.)
