'Ye' in names such as 'Ye Olde Inn' was originally pronounced 'the'.
The pronunciation with y is due to a misinterpretation.
'Ye' originated as a second-best way of writing 'þe', þ being thorn, the original English letter for the th sound.

My newsfeed tonight was bombing Iran, children seeking parents kidnapped by ICE, the scientific medical industry in shambles, and Tex governor Abbott signing a bill requiring the Ten Commandments in classrooms. This country is very stupid and evil.

The future tense endings in most Romance languages look suspiciously like the verb meaning 'to have':
Italian 'sarANNO' (they'll be) vs. 'hanno' (they have)
French 'chanterAI' (I'll sing) vs. 'ai' (I have)
Well, that's actually what they are!
Learn all about how this future tense originated:

It comes from a double nn.
One of the n's was abbreviated as a squiggle on top of the other: ñ.
'Año' comes from Latin 'annum' with nn, but 'España' comes from 'Hispāniam'. My graphic explains how it got its ñ:
