SAE is an acronym for the "Society of Automotive Engineers" and when used in conjunction with tool grade or measurement (not oil), is a standardized unit of non-metric measurement. Simply put, in measurements it means "Non-Metric".

The name "SAE" used to grade motor oil has a totally different meaning, although instituted by the same society.
