Tramontane
Tramontane is a classical name for a northern wind. The exact form of the name and precise direction varies from country to country. The word came to English from Italian tramontana, which developed from Latin trānsmontānus, "beyond the mountains/across the mountains", referring to the Alps in the North of Italy. The word has other non-wind-related senses: it can refer to anything that comes from, or anyone who lives on, the other side of mountains, or even more generally, anything seen as foreign, strange, or even barbarous.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
Tramontane
tra-mon′tān, adj. lying beyond the mountains (originally the Alps), from Rome: foreign: uncivilised.—n. Tramontä′na, the north wind. [L. trans, beyond, mons, montis, a mountain.]
