ArchivesRe: meaning of first name: Bethoven
in reply to a message by Lumia
Well, I think you have got a point: Bethoven seems to be a misspelling, and one that probably isn't tied to a particular language like e.g. Spanish.
But anyway, Bethoven as spelling is just waiting to happen because one does not hear the double-e. Now, if enough people in the Philippines say "Hey! This famous composer is great and has a nice name; I name my child like him" and just write down what they hear - presto, Bethoven as a given name.
