san
Polite name suffix
San is a Japanese honorific suffix attached to names, indicating respect or politeness, roughly equivalent to Mr., Ms., or Mrs. in English: Tanaka-san, Yuki-san.
It's the default honorific in Japanese, appropriate for most social situations.
English speakers encountering Japanese media or business contexts will see it frequently. (Capitalized San appears in place names like San Francisco.)
