meaning - What does 氏 mean after a name, how is it different from さん or 様?



If you look in the dictionary for the definition of 氏 you'll find it defined as: family name; lineage; birth.


However I have seen it used in such a way that it is doubtful that it means any of those things in certain contexts.


Here's an example sentence:


今日はマオ氏のアーバンカーで送ってもらった♪(´ε` )


What does 氏 mean here?


Note: Mao is a very famous Japanese singer.
