The airport is named for Ms. Sabiha Gökçen (1913-2001), the world's first female fighter pilot. In her long career as a pilot and teacher she flew 22 different combat and aerobatics aircraft, and was the first woman to fly the Focke Wulfe 190-A3. The Sabiha Gökçen Airport website has more.
Ms Gökçen's pioneering work was made possible because of Kemal Atatürk's social reforms, which emphasized equal rights and opportunities for women, and the importance of flight. Turks in the air travel and aircraft industries eagerly quote Atatürk's prescient saying, "The future is in the skies."
