It's Greek but I don't know the meaning. It's found in history, here's one example:http://www.geocities.com/christopherjbennett/ptolemies/didyme.htm

The meaning would be "twin," at least as of Koine (New Testament) Greek. The biblical disciple Thomas Didymus was probably a twin, as evidenced by both Hebrew and Greek names meaning "twin."I'd pronounce Didyme "DIH-deh-may" but I have no idea if that's correct.
