It was originally Save Our Ship, but with the advent of air travel, it was changed to Save Our Souls.
There are other meanings for the abreviation though, such as sh it on a shingle refering to toast with a meat and gravy mix on it.

SOS is the distress call for ships in Morse Code - the only letters represented by three identical marks are O (three dashes) and S (three dots). Easy for ships to make the call, they don't stand for save our ship or save our soul or anything like that

Contrary to folklore, "SOS" does not stand for "Save Our Souls" or "Save Our Ship." The otherwise meaningless string of letters was selected because it is easily recognizable and can be sent rapidly.
