/san/, U.S.

/sæn/

Etymology: Japanese: a contraction of the more formal sama.

A Japanese honorific title, equivalent to Mr., Mrs., etc., suffixed to personal or family names as a mark of politeness; also colloquial or in imitation of the Japanese form, suffixed to other names or titles (cf. mama-san n.). When suffixed to a female personal name, and in more polite endearment, san is often coupled with the prefix O- (see quot. 1922).
