Best Answer

its the same as san or sama just in a familiar form

it means miss ms or master rarely mr.

it means your name ex, ******* then Chan as a sign of good fortune and respect

From my understanding from watching "Rurouni Kenshin" Chan can mean little.

Example:

(Bob saying to his young neice [Fred] whom is 4yrs old) " Hi fredu-Chan " or "Hi little Fred"

ちゃん (chan) expresses that you find the person endearing. Usually this honorific is used for babies (赤ちゃん [akachan]), young children, and teenage girls, but it can also be used for cute animals, lovers, close friends, or youthful women. This honorific should not be used with a superior's name as it would be condescending.

What does -kun at the end of a name mean in Japanese?

"Kun" is a diminuitive. That is, it asserts a degree of familiarity, or in other cases, social superiority. A teacher may refer to his students, or a boss to those who work under him, with "kun." Likewise, it may be used among friends. It is not only used for males, just as 'chan' is not only used for females. Kun is not something you would attach to the name of your social superiors.
