Also I am not 100% sure it is 捷.
In my opinion it's a person's name as in Georges Bizet, in Chinese 乔治(George)·比捷(Bizet)
It is quite often that Chinese characters are used phonetically for creating foreign names, so they can sound in, or cool. Right...
Anyways, in Chinese 比 stands for ....er, like in greater and the 捷 means victory. 比 has similar meaning in both Chinese and Japanese, meaning to compare. So in short, it could mean comparable to victory. Then again, another meaning of 比 in Chinese is gesture, so it also could mean a gesture of victory, thus V-sign. Make sure that you V-sign with the right side of your hand towards Brits lol.

Interesting. So long as Georges Bizet isn't renamed "Bidet," I guess it's all OK.
