How to pronounce "YANN"?? I know it's a French name, but I don't know French at all. I always pronounce it as [ia:n]. Am I correct??

Hi I am French, Yann is a Breton name, quite common in Brittany for people born in the 70s.
It is prononced Ya ( like a strange Yes, or the german ja;
and nnn like a long n)
Hope that's help.
