Argh, I'm rubbish with writing pronunciations, but I guess it would be written something like ee-iyan. I'm not sure if you're supposed to drag the ee bit out or not. My parents don't, but my nan (who's full Irish) does.

Is it said like Ian? But an obscure way of spelling it?

I get the suspicion that it's closely linked to Ian (Wikipedia says it's from the name John, but it's a similar spelling to Ian, and they both mean God is gracious) but no, it's not pronounced much like it.

I heard somewhere that Ian is the Gaelic form of John. So you could be right.
