I'm convinced that this must be the family name of the famous composer, written as it would be written in Spanish, as Daividh already remarked, used as a given name in the Philippines.

The word does'nt sound at all like a word in Tagalog or Cebuano (that sounds like said family name just by coincidence.) A Chinese word/name similar just by chance seems even more improbable.

If you look at the long list of names of people from the Philippines at
http://www.manilatimes.net/others/results/sec1004.txt
that also features a Bethoven you see that there are quite a number of other entries that would probably surprise people in other countries somewhat as well: given names like Cinderella, Jamaica, Maria Theresa, Divino, Napoleon, Nueva Era, Gandhi, Arcangel, etc.

---

There is room for a Bethoven for sure.

So what does the family name van Beethoven mean? It seems to have Dutch roots:
http://www.lvbeethoven.com/Bio/BiographyFamily.html
"Beeth means 'beetroot' and Hoven is the plural of 'Hof', meaning 'farm'. Beethoven is therefore 'beetroot farms'."
