How would you pronounce my last name (correctly)?

Last name is spelt Huehn - I am a Canadian whose family immigrated around the 1850s. At family reunions half of my family (my parents included) pronounce it “heen”. The other half pronounce it “hue-n”. Now I’m researching and seeing it might just be “hoon” - based on the spelling probably being an anglicisation of Hühn.

Curious what native Germans think.

EDIT: Holy schnitzel I’m so grateful for all the responses I received so quickly. Have awarded some posts but just frankly didn’t have enough to go around with so many deserving. THANK YOU!
