Absolutely! The standard meaning of a double is penalty, and is usually based on having an equivalent (or better) hand than the NT bidder. Some partnerships use double to mean something conventional; a single suited overcall, or a hand with both majors, for example.

What does double bid mean?

It is a sort of dare -- if you reckon that your team can take the bidder down, then you bid double for double penalties; of course the bidder gets double points if s/he makes the contract, and a small penalty score besides.However, a double in the first round of bidding is (in most systems) a "take-out" double -- it announces an opening strength hand and a preparedness to play the contract in any of the other three suits. It is forcing for one round (that is, your partner is obliged to take it out with a bid indicating his/her strongest suit).
