It sounds as /di.wɑ̃n/≈"DEE-wah^n-n" (in Nothern and Western Brittany) or /di.wɑ̃n/≈"di-WAH^N-N" (in Southern Brittany).
In Breton one always pronounce "an" and "ann" /ɑ̃n/≈"AH^N-N": first a nasal "A" like the French /ɑ̃/≈"AH^N" in "français", "en masse" or "flambé", then a "N"; like if one pronounced the French word "ennui"/ɑ̃n.ny.i/≈"AH^N-NUY-EE" while skipping the "UY-EE" at the end.

It means "bud" (of a flower, a tree or another plant). I have never heard of it used as a given name; but it is the names of the school network where children and teenagers can learn Breton by immersing themselves in the language.
