There's a false etymology floating around that "stan" comes from "stalker-fan", which I guess may have been in Eminem's head when he named the character "Stan" Which just makes it even more messed up that people started claiming that as a positive thing

I'm pretty sure we're almost already at the point where it's just a synonym suggesting maybe slightly more intensity; the key difference remaining is that "fan" doesn't get used as a verb
