The polar easterlies are named for their origin and direction. They are cold winds that originate near the poles, specifically in the polar regions, and blow towards the equator. The term "easterlies" refers to the fact that these winds predominantly come from the east. Thus, the name reflects both their geographic source and their prevailing wind direction.
