Those are called clerestory windows.  Purpose is to let light in.

These are correctly stated by both Fred and Richard -- Clerestory and Transom.  However, there are two other types of windows that are higher and one is an Eyebrow (looks like a half moon) and there are Piano Windows which are typically rectangular and above eye level (at least mine).

I believe you've gotten your answer here from several sources. The only problem with using this term in a listing description is that most buyers and agents would have no idea what you're talking about!

Over a door they are sometimes called transom windows. But on a wall like that, they are typically just called windows.

Celestory.  Great to have since the seeing out windows don't let in light because of the covered area.
