Welcome to RootsChat
At the bottom of each RootsChat page is a section called "Your Tools" and a section called "Surname Interests" - why don't you add your name/names to that section and then anyone who comes along later will find it.

The only Yank or Yanks I could find were from Germany.
Yanke
There is a Mary in the USA her husband is Nick and he was from Greece.
She was born in Ireland and her maiden name was Lane.
The 3 spellings of Yank Yanke and Yanks are not in the roostireland site, the Tithe records or Griffiths Valuation.
In familysearch they have some but in the mid 1800's and the 1900's
There was a Joseph Yank in Ancestry when I looked at the original Doc. it was Gank.
Another John Yank was John Black.
I would need more info as to where they went to.

Hi,
Just came upon your post. The Yanks was a popular bathing spot in the townland of Mahon in Blackrock. The link below is the 1840 Ordnance Survey map. Just toggle down to Cork, move east along the river Lee until you come to Blackrock Castle and then southwards until you come to a little promontary called Ringmahon Point. Just below, you will note a little lane joining the water's edge. That is the Yanks. Girls bathing to the north, boys to the south of the point where the lane meets the water's edge! The lane was called the Yank's bóithrín. I am doing some local history research on the area and would welcome any knowledge you may have about the name. It is thought to be an early 20th century name perhaps based on a returned 'yank' living there. regards.
