Common belief is that SOS stands for "Save Our Ship" or "Save Our Souls" or "Stop Other Signals" or "Stomp Out Stupidity" or "Sale on Socks." (Not really, I made those last two up.) In fact, SOS in not an acronym and it doesn't represent anything at all

It was used as a distress signal because it's an easily-recognized pattern in morse code.

It's not an acronym, S.O.S. doesn't stand for Save Our Ship or anything else.
