can anyone tell me what is the meaning of the term "yanni"?

ya3ni means like "so"

for example:
ya3ni enta lebnani?
(So your lebanese?")

يَعْني is also a filler and is used somewhat like "umm" is in English.

يعني also means 'means'
it's derived from the root عنى which means 'to mean'.
you can use it to say something like "I meant to do that" or "what does it mean".
you can also say "لا يعنيك" which means "it doesn't concern you."

Thanks may be useful..
I thought it's like "darling" or something, people call others so, too..

maybe you got it confused with "يا عيني" which literally means my eye, but can be used to mean darling. Other usages for يا عيني could be "wow/look at that/my oh my" and can be used in a normal manner or sarcastically.
