“Everybody” is a weird way of saying all the people. The French say “all the world”, which is also weird.

Portuguese too (todo mundo)

"Monde" is both the word "world" and a synonym for "a group of persons". The second meaning is an older formula for people you are used to or people who work for you.
-> "Je connais mon monde" == "I know my people"
