Pronounced ko-HAN in Ireland and ko-HANE in the U.S.
When I visited Ireland, in 1988, I was told "You're mispronouncing your name". However, all Keohanes I am aware of in America pronounce the name ko-HANE, including Nannerl Keohane, formerly President of Wellesley College and a Duke University, and her husband Robert O. Keohane.
