The absoloute best character
I just want to say my favorite character in LOTOR is...
GIMLI
No one else can defeat the absoloute coolness that is GIMLI except for maybe GIMLI dressed up as Super Mario.
I know very few people agree with me, but John Rhys Davies (The talented man who plays Gimli) is just too cool for hollywood.
I also really like Gimli. He's cool... sad that he was always made fun of after the film 🙁 I mean, sure, he's also cool in the film, but it's always him responsible for the stupid jokes 😬
The only problem I have with him is the fact that I have no idea what his name means 🙄 😛
There is an adûnaic word "gimli" though, meaning "star" 😄

It's simple. His name is the incorrect pronuctation of the neo-english word gimme. Gimli, gimme. See the connection? And I thought you were smart 😛

Well, Gimli is one of the few dwarves whose names aren't those of dwarves from the Elder Edda;
Maybe it's derived from the Archaic Norse word "gim", meaning "fire"?
There is also a "Gimli" in the Elder Edda, though it's not a dwarf but a hall... ("hall of the blessed"😉, located in a heaven called "Andlang", above Asgard, a golden-roofed building, brighter than the sun 😄 doesnt really sound like related to lotr-Gimli 😉
