a japanese honorific, or suffix added to the end of one's name. chan is usually used when:
1. the person is a small child, ie, younger sibling or friends sibling
2. the person is cute, usually younger, usually a girl
3. can be used on pet cats, dogs, etc..
-chan is mostly used by those in the anime community in america. chan is not often used unless you are familiar with that person and they are younger then you, or they are someone you are familiar with's younger sibling. since chan can mean cute, some boys looking to be manly may be a bit offended by it. also, it should be noted that the suffix chan is used mostly among friends. you wouldnt greet a freshman you dont know as chan, but perhaps as <their name>-kohai. (kohai meaning something along the lines of lower classman)

Get the Chanmug. by Kamurocho Citizen September 19, 2023
Get the Chanmug. Used in japanese language, after a person's name, often used to represent friendship or affection.
My recommendation is that you use it, sparingly, with a person of the opposite gender which you are attracted to, or already dating (for example). It should be used sparingly because he/she may not get it and may ensue egopatriotic attitudes against you for your multicultural behavior.

Get the Chanmug. An inimitable man who may steal your heart. He has a passion for living and loving. This man makes an effort to improve himself. He is outgoing but also very private. He has a childlike way about him, learning and enjoying every moment. A channing is likely to be a man who seeks adventure and inspiration.
He loves music and listens to bluegrass and really knows how to dance :)
A man that if you fall in love with him, your heart will be forever his, even if your mind and body are forced to move on. A channing is kind and helpful and means no harm in his heartbreaks.
If you have the chance to be with one take it, it will be worth potential broken heart.
