In Armenian, Jan is very commonly used when referring to a loved one or even someone who you admire in general. Can also be said AFTER the person’s real name. If the Armenian mom of your friend calls you this, it means you are loved, welcomed, and sometimes even seen as family.

David: “Mom!”
David’s mom: “yes, Jan?”
Or
David’s mom: “David Jan, please do the dishes”
David: “Ok, after this round”

A term originating from the popular phrase "Sure, Jan," it is a nickname given to someone you know is a liar. It can also be yelled at someone sporadically during a very important Twitter debate, or when some autist you know is obviously lying.
Tl;dr, Jan is a liar.
You can also use it as a nickname for obnoxious valley girls nobody likes, similar to Karen, but 16.
