I found bearer on social media. She lives in Kalmyk Republic, so I assume name is Kalmyk name. Am I correct and what Syakhlya it mean?

Yes, Сяхля appears to be another (Russified) transcription of the Kalmyk name Сәәхлә (Söökhlö), which means "beautiful woman".

This makes sense, ә becomes я in Russification often. I will update it!
