I believe it has the same origin as “memetic” (greek probably)

You are right. : )
The term meme is a shortening (modeled on gene) of mimeme, which comes from Ancient Greek mīmēma (μίμημα; pronounced [míːmɛːma]), meaning 'imitated thing', itself from mimeisthai (μιμεῖσθαι, 'to imitate'), from mimos (μῖμος, 'mime').

I didnt know its funny meaning : )
oh and also for “imitation” you could use “mimesis”
Hmm.. okay. Thanks.🫂
Memetic Evolution books use it as "Meme" . I thought that is special concept/ scientific term. :)))
