Superman/Supergirl continuity

I have a question about supergirl.
Ok, in Superman: The Movie with Chris Reeve, Kal-El wears the S on his chest because that is the symbol Jor-El wore upon his before the destruction of Krypton. How could the S stand for Superman if the S was Jor-El's symbol. Lois Lane gives Kal-El the nickname "Superman" after their date if I remember correctly so before she called him Superman, he was not known as Superman. What a nice coincidence that she named him Superman AND his father's symbol was an S.

So the question is, why does supergirl wear an S on her chest like superman? Could it be her family's symbol as well or is she just copying Superman's suit. Is this just a movie goof? Perhaps Michi heavenly could shed some light for me?
