Yes I believe the name you are looking for is Satyr or Centaur those were Creatures that were half animal and half human, also they had a hugh Sexual appatite and was known to Rape Women.

I loved the Faun in the movie "Pan's Labyrinth." That movie was so true to life...

But why is it always the head and top 1/2 that is the man, why not the other way around sometimes

Oh, not always, not always.

Here's one:
Top half = jackass
Bottom half = human

I believe this apparition is named Bush :D

Satyrs spring from Greek mythology.
In their Grecian form, they had nothing to do with goats.
In fact, the Greeks portrayed them with a horse's tail :)
(Additionally, in Grecian art, the adult ones had beards and the senior citizens were bald and obese.)

It's the Romans who made them 'goat-like', as a point of similarity with Faunus, their own version of a perennially horny man-goat.

Strangely enough, although Latin mythology gives Satyrs the upper half of a man and the lower half of a goat, Roman artists planted goat's horns on the older satyrs' heads.

I guess that makes older satyrs 'goat-horned horny man-goats'.
