"San" is typically added after a person's last name in Japanese as a polite suffix, rather than before the last or first name. It is used as a title of respect and can be added to either the last name or full name when addressing someone in a formal setting.

Do you add -san to a first or last name in Japanese?

The most polite way is to add it to the last name, for example: Matsumoto-san. However, if you only know the first name, then add it to that, for example: Narumi-san. At formal occasions such as graduations, the full name + san is added. For example: Matsumoto Narumi-san.


Japanese last name?

I don't know exactly what you mean (your question isn't clear), but in Japan, the last name is listed before the first. So, for example, your name was Eve Sahara in English, in Japanese it would be Sahara Eve. Also, you would normally be called by your last name.There are also many endings for names.-Sama is VERY respectful, like for a boss or a principal.-San is less formal, maybe for a teacher or someone a little better than you.-Chan and -kun are used as the feminime and masculine forms for friend. NO name ending is for someone you have as family or a best friend.So, here some examples:Johnson-sama (your boss) (last name)Smith-san (your teacher) (normally last name, can be used with first name, i.e. Ashley-san)Angela-chan (your friend) (either first name or last name) (feminime)Robert-kun (your friend) (either first name or last name) (masculine)Celine (your best friend) (first name)
