What does Chan actually mean?

One of my friends keeps calling me LisaChan and i'm not sure what it means.

I have Googled it but come up with several different meanings.

I would ask my friend this but i thought i'd give you guys a go first :)

    Chan may be Japanese term ちゃん, which comes after first name of a girl. That is a suffix which indicates an intimate relationship.
