I created this riddle in hopes that you all can deduce the answer.
I lack all meaning,
yet my meaning is the same.
The cold depths of space shall contain my name.
What am I?

Is it:
the letter i?
I lack all meaning, yet my meaning is the same
of course, the letter I only has the meaning 'i' has
The cold depths of space shall contain my name
The word universe has the letter i in it
What am I
i is I!

$\begingroup$ Although I enjoyed reading your detailed solution, the answer is not the letter "i". Great answer, nonetheless! $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 8, 2018 at 4:54

Is it
"Nothing"?
It lacks all meaning. Yet it's meaning is the same.
"Nothing" is a word that means nothing. It's meaning is that it has no meaning.
The cold depths of space shall contain my name.
This one is pretty obvious to me. Space is mostly nothing.

It could be empty or emptyness.
I lack all meaning,
The meaning of empty actually means something lacking.
yet my meaning is the same.
And still it means just this.
The cold depths of space shall contain my name.
And the space is pretty much empty.

Is it space? It lacks all meaning. Yet it's meaning is the same. Space is contained in the name "cold depths of space"

Could it be
Void
Since,
To be devoid of meaning is to lack meaning
And
Space is sometimes referred to as the void
