They are flourishes. They could be considered calligraphic flourishes, as they are designed to resemble those drawn with a pen.

This is what i understood..

There is no name for such typographic patterns(till someone suggest :P), some elements are used to make it stand nothing else and those elements are called decoration...

They are Decorative swirls/Floral/Swooshes and used for decoration..
