Meaning of SO in here

What is the meaning of so here (I can't find it in my dictionary)?

But you said I rocked your world. All Subsequent worlds that I rocked were only so rocked because of the confidence I earned from said first world rocking.

The night crawler, so-named because he crawls at night.

The night crawler, so-called because he crawls at night.

Definition of so here? Is it the same as so in the earlier sentence?

Thanks
