About the name Muhammad Chan

Muhammad Chan is built from two parts. Muhammad is commonly used as the first element of boys' names, and its spelling varies in Malaysian documents (Muhammad, Mohamad, Mohd). The meaning of Chan is uncertain. Chan is also a spelling known from Cantonese romanization of a Chinese surname, so this combination is not a purely Arabic construction.
