<p>
	The <strong>さん</strong> that you see after <strong><ruby>山yama下sita</ruby></strong> is the most common honorific, or title, used when talking about other people to show respect. It can be used with either a first or last name. 
	You should never use <strong>さん</strong> after your own name and you should almost never refer to someone else without using an honorific.
