What does the prefix :: mean

I have seen the following prefix :: what does it represent? A :abc is a keyword, but what is ::abc ?

Thanks, Murtaza

Suppose that the current namespace is my.app. Then, ::x is a reader shorthand for :my.app/x, a keyword whose namespace part is my.app and name is x.

In other languages this is the default namespace. But not sure if this exists in Clojure too. Refering to this comment, it seems to be correct.
