While そよ風 is pleasant, the word 風邪 which uses the same character for 'wind' 風 actually means 'a cold' or 'flu'.
The word そよ風 comes from the onomatopoeia そよそよ, which mimics the sound and feel of a gentle swaying motion.
The character 風 can be read as 'fu' or 'kaze' and is used in many idioms to describe a person's style or manner, such as 風貌.
