〜たん、は「〜ちゃん」の変化した言い方です。ネットでよく使われます。
日常で〜たん、を使っていたら、オタクっぽいと思われます。
主に、自分のお気に入りのアニメキャラやアイドルに使います。
「私は〇〇たん推し」など。
たまに、自分の子ども(赤ちゃん)に「〇〇たん、かわいい、かわいい」などと言う人もいるかも知れません。これは、オタクっぽくはないですが、公共の場で言っていたら親バカっぽいです。

Has this word been used with someone’s name? Ex. Alice-たん...
If so, this is a childish way of saying ちゃん, usually used for children and girls.
たん is a kind of net slang, especially in otaku community, so unsuitable for Public speaking. Please watch out when you use it😎!

Yes used for a name, a cat actually! It was on a video so that makes sense :) thanks
