I have heard Scottish as well. The original spelling may have been Yaun. Also, the Wiregrass region of Georgia and Florida,or Beaufort S.C. are good starting locations to look way back.

The surname Yawn does not exist in Scotland. It's an alteration of the German name Jahn 'John' (see tinyurl.com/y874a9sd). Your ancestor was Swiss German as you can see at tinyurl.com/y78vb6jt.
