Some one stated on a forum that Gimli meant heaven in some language of Europe.
They noted that this didn't sound like our Gimli. Well, I beg to differ.
Gimli was the only dwarf that was able to pass over the Sundering Seas and dwelt with the Eldar. Being that the land of Valimar is likened to Heaven, could not Tolkien chose this name for that reason? I think that he did.
