'Stan' is an acronym in English, which is not used much in Spanish, to call the one who persecutes and harasses sometimes criminally a public person he admires. It is the union of the words stalker ("stalker") fan ("apocope of 'fanatic'"). In English it has many more meanings (even as a proper name), among which we most remember the trekkies is the acronym of Star Trek Area Network ("Task Network for the Star Crossing Area"), which is the proposed name for data networks that cover points of the galaxy about 70,000,000 kilometers. See -stan (suffix) .
