A MEAN stack developer is someone who is has knowledge in some particular areas alone. MEAN stack development refers to development process that falls within these particular set of technologies Mongodb, Expressjs, AngularJs, NodeJS. In simple words MEAN stack developers are like JS based application developers A Full stack developer is far more efficient than MEAN stack developers. A Full stack developer has complete knowledge in server, web appication, apis, User interface etc. They have complete idea about the idea about the whole web development process.

Full-Stack on the other side is not a particular technology. It is about having all the skills like knowing about backend, database and datamodelling, design-patterns and frontend....for example you are a full-stack developer if you are good in developing a whole mean-stack application, not just the frontend. Then your "stack" exists of mongodb, node.js, express and angular...or you can call it...Mean-Stack :)

Full stack is referred to a gruop of technology which collectivily can develop full application. Like in .Net stack we have ASP.Net for Server side code, SQL server for backend and HTML,CSS, JS for Client side code, they can collectivily develop complete application. Similarily MEAN stack has Mongo DB far backend, Express.JS is MVC ecosystem for NodeJS and Angular is used for Clientside. By the way the term Full Stack Developer  was coined by Mark Zukerberg, and still people have different views about it, you can follow further links.   https://medium.com/coderbyte/a-guide-to-becoming-a-full-stack-developer-in-2017-5c3c08a1600c   http://andyshora.com/full-stack-developers.html
