Best Answer

"han" is not an honorific.

the honorifics are:

Chan-friend(female:female or male:female),usually used for girls or young boys.

Kun-friend(male:male or female:male) usually used for boys or someone below you, your boss may call you this.

San-Mr or Mrs.

Sama-lord or god.

Bozu-shrimp, small fry, an insult.

No honorific-very horrible insult.

those are the ones I know.

If you found "han" from where I think you did, it was used to imply the person was saying "san", but with a heavy accent

What does the name yoru-san mean?

I'm rather certain that it is japanese. '-san' is an honorific ending, which is a polite way to refer to someone. Yoru actually means 'night'. So, essentially, it just means 'Mr.Yoru (night).' Try looking up the honorific suffixes.
