>as being "Maya" for "you are my other self."

>A great concept of compassion, kindness, and love.... but is it real?

>Any thoughts on what "Mayan" language it could come from?

Yes, it is real - in Yucatec Maya it means something like "You're my friend 
(or companion)". It is an expression of deep affection, and if someone on the 
the peninsula tells you this, you really should feel honoured ...
