The dual phenomenon (yesterday/evening) exists also at least in Russian : vchera (yesterday) / vecher (evening).

Also in :
Latvian : vakar (yesterday) / vakars (evening)
Polish : wczoray (yesterday) / wieczr (evening)

OK, so I'm very late to this party.

In Scots, "tomorrow" is "the morn". "Tomorrow morning" is "the morn's morn".

Tomorrow:明日/明天
Morning:早晨/上午

In Chinese they are unrelated, although tomorrow literally means "bright sun"/"bright day (<when> the day brightens)"

Tomorrow/morning

Slovak: zajtra/ráno (in some East-Slovakian dialect 'jutre' or 'jutro' not sure which one means tomorrow, just like in Polish, but opposed to Czech)

Czech: zítra/ráno or jitro

Hungarian: holnap/reggel

Just to put some sound to the characters ...
Tomorrow: ming2ri4/ming2tian1 ... Mingri derives from the classical language and is in literary usage in the present-day ... mingtian is the standard colloquial form as far as I know.
Morning: zao3chen2/shang4wu3 (zaochen is "early morning," like "madrugada" in Portuguese or Spanish ... shangwu is literally "forenoon" and a more standard word for morning; even more common is zao3shang4 using the two characters previously cited together)

In Taiwanese (Min-Nan) ... I'm not sure how to classify the tones, so I won't bother.
Tomorrow: Mia-zai
Early Morning: T'ao-za (za cognate with Mandarin zao3)
Morning: Zai-ki (not the same zai as that in tomorrow)

And in French, according to my etymological dictionary, "demain" (= "tomorrow") comes from the Vulgar Latin expression "de mane" which originally meant "in the morning". The Italian "domani" has the same origin.

And while Italian morning is "mattina", "mane" has stayed in the word "stamani" (or "stamane"), which means "this morning".
