I think "yonder" is taken from the word "beyond". It means far away, and is almost exclusively used in the American South. LIke in the song, "Way down yonder on the Chattahoochie" - meaning "far away on the Chattahoochie [river]".
There is also the word "yon" used in Shakespearian English which means "over there". For example, "Behold yon fair maiden". [translated: "Look at that pretty girl over there."]
