The name Windy Hill reflects the exposed nature of the landscape which allows the wind to blow freely, which creates a windy environment.

Many locations that are called Windy Hill are also situated on exposed or elevated landforms like hills or even ridges.

the natural topography makes them very susceptible to strong winds.

Even open grasslands, such as the one at the Windy Hill Preserve in the Bay Area, also contribute to the windiness and the lack of any obstructions allows the wind to blow freely across the area.
