What are the prefixs in Japanese?

If you are meaning Mr./Ms./Mrs. etc, then they are actually suffixes said at the END of a person's family name, or first name. Example is Hayozaki-san = Mr. Hayozaki. For first names, in Japan it is considered impolite to refer to someone by their first name unless you know them personally. But it such a case, you would say Sakura-san, meaning Miss Sakura.

Can a Japanese suffix be a name?

If you are meaning the honorifics specifically, no they cannot. However homophonic 'words' (such as english Bridge and Chopsticks, or Nose and Flower [hashi and hana respectively]) there are similar names. for example, San (Mr/Ms when an honorific) can be used as a name, however that meaning is not the same.

Can -san be used after given name or only surname?

The suffix -san is used in Japanese in much the way the title "Mister" is used in English. It should only be used with the surname or family name. However, because Japanese usage gives the family name first, and English usage gives the family name last, the resulting confusion among those not very familiar with the languages often results in the -san suffix being applied by Japanese to the personal name of a Westerner, and by Westerners to the personal name of a Japanese person.


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.
