    No, actually it's Hebrew and is taken from the bible, Genesis 31 v
    49. Mizpah signifies a friendship pact/agreement between Laban and
    Jacob after being alienated from each other. It signifies God
    looking over them and keeping them safe whenever they are apart. 

    Miz pah has been used in jewellery as tokens of friendship. A pendant
    in two halves, where one friend wears one half and the other friend
    wears the other half.
