Nope... Sorry, was originally a Norse sign of odin. It meant valor, and strength.
It was rather a blending of those two words, which normally just looked liked twin lightning bolts, but his sign was them crossed over one another.
Now, yes. Hindus (I believe) Used it as you stated, but. Hitler, however, used the Norse version, hence why it does appear slightly different from other forms.

I just got reversed the more you know'd, thumb to you.
