No, according to this page, it's more of a Malay origin.

That's interesting! I actually remember using "Chop" meaning stamping when I was younger in Hong Kong. Didn't realise it is not actually an English word lol
It's more of "Singlish", we also say chop for stamping but chope is for reserving but with the ing, then mostly people drop the "e".
