Pronunciation of Yeargin in Nashville, Tennessee, United States

YER gin

The first syllable is pronounced exactly the same as the last syllable of the word 'lawyer'

The g in the second syllable is a hard g; the gi sounds the same as in the word 'gift'

Some further info: It is pronounced almost exactly like the German name Jurgen, from which it is derived, according to several of my family's sources. In Americanization the first syllable lost the drawn out sound of the umlaut in Jurgen, and became the flat 'yer'.
