Another name for latitude lines is parallels. These lines run parallel to the equator and are used to measure how far north or south a location is from the equator.
The lines on the globe are not called "latitude", any more than the marks on a thermometer are called "temperature". The lines on the globe that mark intervals of latitude are called "parallels" of latitude.
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
A Parallel - because they are imaginary lines that run around the earth parallel to the equator

For Maps, it is latitude and longitude.
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
Except for a very few specific ones, the lines don't have names. The lines that mark latitudes north of the equator are "parallels of north latitude".
