I don't know all of it but I do know "san" is a term of respect, like "mister" or "sir."

The word "Chan" means little girl or something like that. Me coming from Japan, but not Japanese, they called me (Name) chan. And they called my older brother (Name) san. I forget what "kun" means.

1. I'd just call them name suffixes, or maybe just suffixes.
2. There's a bunch...see the link.
