Donovan

I was looking up the history of the name "Donovan" (because I was considering it for a character name, and I wanted to know when it first came into regular use as a first name), and I found this:
The boy's name Donovan is pronounced DAH-na-vun.
Can an Irish person (or English person?) help me out with this one? Is this an American pronunciation key, or do you really say it that way? I would have thought it was DAWN-a-vun.

Oh, they're only a vestige of my ancient slash fanfiction-writing past, don't mind them.
