Greek, Latin and other languages can also be included. Much better if you'll give a website that has the list already.

It might/might not be included hence the words "can also" Well then if it's too long then maybe 20-30 will do.

Japanese

-chan = Cute, Girl, Child
-san = Cute, Young Woman, Woman, Classmate
-ko = Female or of Female
-ki = Male or of Male ( Sukuki is a Boy Toy buhahaha)
-sama = Someone of Status or Respect but likely to be female and young XD ... as well I mean
-sempai = Someone you look to with respect, someone you look up to,.. a very high status classmate by reputation or achivements in school
-sensei = Teacher or Master

[Added: When it comes to names they like to use parts of names that mean words and things just as well as Prefixes and Suffixes. So I'll make a list of a couple commonly used as Prefix or Suffix in Japanese names and their meaning.

shi = being ( Tenshi means Angel or Ten being Heaven.. Tenshi is a being that lives in Heaven,.. a resident or race,.. or whatever)
no = of, Belonging to, some times the of, or of the to make sense in other languages. They like to use it to link first and last names inot a meaning but it can also work to compound names, ranks, and areas of peoples. So maybe with English last names I can make sense with DoeNoSmith = Doe of Smith, Doe of the Smith, or Smith's Doe)
chi = It's really an Earth Energy but it can be used to say Earth or Energy.]


Latin

-a = female, likely
-us = male, likely
-o = I forget maybe this or -a is used by both,.. or was it -us,.. I just remember the rules sucked because then you would see the God's names didn't apply or something. Like Venus and Zeus are bout -us but that doesn't mean it's the rule we are supposed to follow >.>

-la = I think normally female
-lo = I think normally male but the rules didn't make sense some times.

What did your last slave die of? There must be literally thousands, particularly as you suggest 'Greek, Latin and othe languages can be included'
