It is not pronounced yo-wanna or Yo-Anna. It's pronounced ee-WA-na. I am actually Romanian, and this is my name. Americans shut up about other cultures' challenge.
It's pronounced yo-AH-na. I speak Romanian and I have lived in Romania for years but I have never encountered any pronunciation that remotely sounded like it had a W in it. It's a beautiful name.
