What are lines that measure a location's distance north or south of the equator called?

Lines of longitude, called meridians, run perpendicular to lines of latitude, and all pass through both poles. Each longitude line is part of a great circle. There is no obvious 0-degree point for longitude, as there is for latitude.
If any line is north or south it has to be latitude, because longitude goes all the way around the earth, from pole to pole.

Zero longitude ... the boundary between east and west ... is the Prime Meridian.
