The letters SOS in Morse Code mean HELP.

'SOS' is the Morse code international distress signal. It doesn't actually mean anything but is simply a combination of two easily-distinguishable letters: 'S' (...) and 'O' (---).

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.
