they get their name because of the direction they blow
prevailing winds
Global winds are named based on the direction from which they blow and the region in which they are located. For example, the polar easterlies blow from the east near the poles, the westerlies blow from the west in mid-latitudes, and the trade winds blow from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere.
They're called westerlies. Good luck with your paper!
The four major wind belts are the polar easterlies, prevailing westerlies, trade winds, and the doldrums. The polar easterlies are cold winds that blow from the polar high-pressure areas towards the mid-latitudes. The prevailing westerlies are winds that blow from the west in the mid-latitudes. The trade winds are consistent easterly winds that blow towards the equator. The doldrums are areas near the equator with weak and variable winds.
The trade winds originate from the subtropical high-pressure systems near the equator, while the westerlies originate from the mid-latitude areas around 30-60 degrees latitude. The trade winds blow from east to west, while the westerlies blow from west to east.

because of the direction they travel in. they travel from west to east due to the coriolis effect
prevailing winds
If something is being carried by westerlies, it is moving from west to east. Westerlies are prevailing winds that flow from the west to the east in the mid-latitudes.
The mid-latitude westerlies is caused by flow patterns. This pattern is known to be strong.
The westerlies bring air masses from the west to the east.
