That's going to depend on how you're holding your map or globe.

-- If the north pole is at the top, then meridians to the left of the Prime Meridian

mark west longitudes.

-- If the south pole is at the top, then meridians to the left of the Prime one mark

east longitudes.

-- If the north and south poles are toward the sides of the map, then the Prime Meridian

is a horizontal line between them, and there is nothing on Earth to the left or right of it.

Why is 0 degrees longitude and 180 degrees longitude not designed east or west?

Because either way it would still be the same. There is only a maximum of 180 degrees longitude. If you move 180 degrees east and 180 degrees west, you will still end up at the same place, so there is no need to designate east or west for it.

Why is the greenwich meridian called meridian?

Greenwich is a place in England. If you look at a map, places to the left are west of Greenwich and places to the right are east. A meridian is any line which runs from north pole to south pole and the meridian that runs through Greenwich is called the Greenwich Meridian and by definition is zero degrees. All other meridians are measured in degrees from zero. E.g. New York is -74 degrees, meaning it's west of Greenwich by 74 degrees.
