"меня" means "me"; "мой" means "my", and it referes to something that is singular and belongs to the male gender.

Меня зовут Мария. - Word for word it means "[They] call me Maria".
So, you can say, that "меня" = "me". It is true for the phrases like "You make me cry" (Ты заставляешь меня плакать) or "You saw me yesterday" (ты видел меня вчера).
And really, "мой" = "my", almost always.
