Why does SOS mean save your souls?

SOS doesn't mean anything. It's Just a Morse code distress signal. This distress signal was first adopted by the German government in radio regulations effective April 1, 1905. The assumption that SOS in Morse code means anything in words is a fallacy. The letters were chosen because of the ease of transmission and the distinctive sound of the repetition which is easily recognized in any language. It was only later that people invented Save Our Souls or Save Our Ship for their own needs that have nothing to do with the transmission of a distress call.

Why is Morse code called Morse code?

Samuel FB Morse devised both the telegraph system and the code. the mode of code- that is dots and dashes was more or less discovered accidentally, the code itself was not. They used printing telegraphs which were clockwork tape registers ( this being the l840"s) and these were tied into the power supply so the shortest interval was a dot, a longer one, a dash. So, this being understood the Code was worked out. There are differences between the original Morse Code and the modern International Morse Code on some letters and punctuations. Somewhat oddly, one of the best-known Morse ciphers- the code for Red Alert: - - - - Four longs, evenly spaced- is not in the original land line (Morse) or international ( Radio-telegraph) forms of the Morse Code, but it well known. Four Longs- Red Alert! Even Spector used it in some of his songs.
