where does my name come from, and how is it pronounced?
My name is pretty typical of Bretagne (or Brittany as it is known in English), the western part of France that sticks out in the Atlantic Ocean. The indigenous population there has Celtic origins, just like the Irish, Welsh, and Scotts. Some people still speak the local Gaelic language called Breton.
"Yann" is the Breton form of Ian/John/Jean/Jan/Johannes in Irish/English/French/Dutch/German. The French pronounce it "Yahn", but the real Bretons pronounce it "Yawnn" with a short "awn" and a long "n".
