Well it can stand for plenty of things but the three that i know are: Save our Ship, Save our Souls, and SIster Over Shoulder (used when you are talking to your friend as a warning to not say anything important) Hope that helps!

SOS in not an acronym and it doesn't represent anything at all.
In Morse Code, the only letters represented by three identical marks are O (three dashes) and S (three dots). The committee toyed with OSO, but dashes are longer electrical signals to transmit than dots. An urgent message needed to be broadcast as quickly as possible and use as little power as possible, and so SOS became international standard.

I never knew it also meant Save Our Ship, that's interesting! But I know for sure it stands for Save Our Souls

S.O.S. means to "Save our Souls!" or "Save our ships."

It stands for nothing. It is a distress signal and the letters were picked because they were easy to remember and quick to deliver in morse code. dot dot dot dash dash dash dot dot dot. That is the meaning of the letters in SOS--easy to remember in morse code.
