A wind that blows from west to east is called a westerly wind. The direction of origin is the name of the wind.
It blows in all direction. With much of it being in the Arctic, the prevailing wind tends to be out of the east.
The first movement of air (wind) is always from high to low pressure. This is known as the Pressure Gradient Force (PGF). However, because the Earth is rotating, the Coriolis effect causes the wind to be deflected through 90 degrees. The resulting wind is known as the Geostrophic wind, and it blows parallel to isobars.
When you wet your finger and hold it in the air you can determine wind direction, if there is in fact wind, because the wind blows against your finger and chills the fluids on your finger. Therefore, whatever part of you finger is cold, in the direction the wind is coming from.
