zephyr
A soft, gentle breeze, especially one from the west. The lightest of winds — barely enough to move a leaf, but enough to be felt on the skin.
Etymology
From Greek Zephyros, the god of the west wind, the mildest and most benign of the four wind gods. Zephyros was associated with spring and the arrival of warm weather.
