Memes to moimois is freaking funny (me = moi in French)

I really thought meme originated from the French meme, meaning self. I thought ppl used it like me_irl, moi meme. I'm realizing this is based on nothing and I might have totally made it up.

"Même" by itself means "same", "c'est la même chose" "it's the same thing", with moi (moi-même) it's "myself". "Self" by itself (feels weird to say that) would be translated as "soi".
