One might look at this combined name as simply “Data, but with a Y”. But if one were to instead consider the letters of this combined name to be equally taken from each character, then “YA” comes from Yar and “TA” comes from Data. Thus, my logical conclusion is that it should be pronounced “Yah-ta”.
