A quick google indicates that plenty of people have called their child Yani.

Still doesn’t explain why?

I suppose parents in another culture wanted to call their child that name. In some languages (eg Greek, Bulgarian), it is equivalent to our “John”.

In truth I have no idea why my parents wanted to name me “Michael”. And I never asked why.

Can see the link to Juan.
