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.
