In popular usage, SOS became associated with phrases such as "Save Our Ship," "Save Our Souls," "Survivors On Ship," "Save Our Sailors" "Stop Other Signals" and "Send Out Sailors". However, these phrases were a later development, most likely used to help remember the correct letters- something known as a backronym. Other backronyms include Stuck On Site. In reality,the phrase was chosen arbitrarily for its ease of remembering and typing, much like the modern 9-1-1 emergency number.

Save Our Souls......it's an internationally recognised distress signal a bit like mayday. Came from when lots of ships got wrecked before radar and things.

The initials "SOS" do not stand for anything at all. They are simply an arrangement of morse code used to signal for help, mostly because it was easy to recognize. It's what ships used to use to comminicate, and it does not mean "save our ship" or anything like that. It's a widely known distress call, because it's easy to recognize over morse code, and the term SOS just stuck.
I repeat, it DOES NOT mean anything. Not "save our souls", and not "sink or swim"... it has no official term behind it.
