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".
