You're right, that information is in the article; however, it is buried. I was looking for something like a sentence beginning, "This structure is called the Tower of the Winds..." which would be easier for our readers to find. Further, there is no indication whether this is its original name, or if its original name is known, or if its current name was created by a modern Classicist based on the names of the eight sides. All details, I assume, that are retrievable thru a search of the relevant secondary literature. --
