There is no direct connection, however, there is a very indirect relationship.
Gimli (Heaven) the town was settled by immigrants from Iceland and named in 1875, long before the writting of Lord of the Rings (1937 to 1949). Iceland's language has its roots in Scandinavia. The boy's name Gimli is of Old Norse origin and means "Fire"
JRR Tolkien was a linguist and was fascinated by the Scandinavian languages and read many of the ancient stories in their original languages. Many of the names used by Tolkien for his characters have some basis in these Scandinavian legends.
The relationship would be that both the character and the village got the inspiration for their names from the roots of the Scandinavian language.
