the honorific san
San is the most common honorific and is a title of respect. It is used for the surnames or given names of both males and females. Although in translation san is usually rendered as a common courtesy title like “Mr.” or “Ms.”, unlike these it is never used in self-reference. Although, strictly speaking, not an honorific title in this usage, san can also be attached to the names of animals or even food products
