2/2 is also known as Cut time - C - or Alla Breve. The top signifies how many beats in the bar. In this case it is two beats per bar. The bottom two represents the type of note which is worth one beat. The two means half note, or minim. So there are two minim beats to a bar. 2/2 is generally twice as fast as 4/4.
