Your question is sort of fuzzy, so I'll try to answer it from as many different meanings as I can. I know of three Asian languages that you may be referring to: Korean, Chinese and Japanese. I'm afraid I'll have to use Simplified Chinese.
In Google translator, I translated to and from Korean, Chinese and Japanese. In all of them, it remains typhoon, so it doesn't have any special meaning in any of these languages, it just is typhoon. In Korean, the phonetic translation is the-poong, which is pretty close.
