That is because the Earth is rotating. The coriolis effect puts a spin on the moving air. The following video is about storms, but the principle is explained.
The winds always blow from the south at the South Pole due to the rotation of the Earth and the Coriolis effect, which causes the winds to flow from high pressure to low pressure areas. This is known as the polar easterlies.
No, southerly winds come from the south and blow towards the north.
FROM the north. Winds take their names from their origin.
Surface winds at the North Pole generally move from the south towards the north, forming the Polar Easterlies. These winds are a result of the temperature difference between the cold polar regions and the warmer mid-latitudes.
The winds that blow from the North Pole are called polar easterlies, while the winds that blow from the South Pole are called polar westerlies. These winds are cold, dry, and they originate from the high-pressure areas near the poles.
Planetary winds are any winds that occur because of solar radiation. They are in direct correlation to the rotation of the earth. Planetary winds do not blow directly north or south.
The winds always blow from the south at the South Pole due to the rotation of the Earth and the Coriolis effect, which causes the winds to flow from high pressure to low pressure areas. This is known as the polar easterlies.
Local winds, such as sea breezes and mountain winds, are not planetary winds. These winds are driven by local temperature and pressure differences rather than the global atmospheric circulation patterns that produce the planetary winds.
Everywhere is south from the north pole. Due to the rotation of the earth the majority of the winds follow the weather from west to east. The further south from the north pole, many other factors come into play that have a direct impact on the direction of the winds due to changes in the earth's profile, the flora, the variation of the surface temperatures, etc..
Then the earth would not rotate.

South winds come from the south, or in other words, they blow in a direction from south to north.

No, southerly winds come from the south and blow towards the north.

In the Northern Hemisphere, winds traveling north are deflected to the east due to the Coriolis effect, which is caused by the Earth's rotation. Conversely, winds traveling south are also deflected but curve to the west before eventually moving eastward. This deflection occurs because the Earth rotates counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole. As a result, both northward and southward winds ultimately contribute to the eastward flow of air.
