Also septentrional and meridional. For example, Southern Italy is known as Meridione. Meridional in current usage indicates motion towards the south.

I have a globe marked "Sep.", "Mer.", "Ori." and "Occ." Septentrion from Septentrio, from Septem Triones, the seven stars of Ursa Major (which is an asterism, as eny fule kno).
