What does goodbye mean?

It means "See you later!" It is probably a shortening of the phrase "God bid ye well," which was said to wish those leaving you to return home (or wherever) good luck or blessings in their travels. Over time, that phrase was shortened to goodbye.

A related archaic term is godspeed.
