What does it mean when someone puts Sama after a persons name?

Sama (さま , 様) when following someone's name or title conveys the speaker's humbleness and high respect towards them. It's more than just being polite, it emphasizes that the speaker respects the one they call with -sama. It could be a case of a shop owner calling their patron 'okyaku sama' to a disciple calling their master 'oyakata sama' or someone calling to God 'kami sama', etc.

Another usage, but less usual would be sarcastic language, used to humor someone by adding this suffix to their name, which would be a subcategory of the first usage, but depending on circumstances you'll have to recognize. Sama is also used in some other senses like fixed expressions which is not part of the answer to this question.
