I've heard a few times a word "nakattan" with n at the end. I know what
nakatta mean, what does N mean?

question
grammar word-choice
Nakattan -- what does n mean?
ん is usually the short of の verbally。

In your case it could become なかったの, which means to emphasize it was not there
or to ask if it was there.
