How is Jón pronounced in Icelandic? Is it like John or Joon?

Fannar was one of the most popular names for boys in 2004. What is the origin and meaning of Fannar?

Thanks!

Fannar is an Icelandic name, a new combination of "snow" and "warrior":

Jón

Resources say it's pronounced like the word own with a j in front of it.
