In Rome, the winds were collectively called the Venti(WENN-tee). The Romans didn't place as much importance on the winds as did the Greeks, but they did have personifications for the directional winds. They were:

Aquilo - the North wind. His Greek counterpart was Boreas. This god was also called Septentrino.

Auster - the South wind. His Greek counterpart was Notos.

Vulturnus - the East wind. His Greek counterpart was called Euros.

Favonius - the West wind. This Greek Counterpart was the well known Zephuros (Later Latinized into Zephyrus). His name means "favorable" and like the Greek version, his winds were considered the most gentle.
