However, rotate your viewing angle by 90 degrees, then you call it vertical polarization.
To give an analogy, it is like asking to differentiate between X and Y axis. It is completely up to you to pick one direction (for say X) and then the orthogonal (Y) will be in the other direction.
Usually this is how it is named as vertical or horizontal polarized....
If the antenna E-field is perpendicular to the ground, it is said vertical polarization...
if the antenna E-field is parallel to the ground, it is said horizontal polarization...
Since it's just a notation, you can choose what ever way as the horizontal or vertical... IF the antenna is rotated, polarization changes... just two names given to identify two common uses of polarization
