The best way to determine how the name should sound it to learn how it was spelled in hangul, the Korean alphabet. The characters for the "yoon" and "een" sounds are very different. It is often difficult to translate these characters into our letters, so it sometimes gets confusing.
If you have the characters, there are many hangul guides online that will play the sounds.
As far as the meaning, I think that question could be cleared up by learning the original spelling.

Hope this helps.
