I found out that Gimli was taken from Norse mythology.

Gimli was the heavenly hall where the new order of gods lived after Ragnarok, which was the last battle between Good and Evil. Most of Heaven and Earth were destroyed, but a new heaven and earth arose. Gimli was the fairest of the heavenly halls.

"Gimli" still seems to be a popular term in some Northern European countries to describe a "heavenly" or peaceful place.

Doesn't sound like "our" Gimli, does it? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
