On a clear night sky, aspecially from around 03h00, i normally see a bigger than other stars from Eastwards, ending mid-way in the sky by 06h00.
Which is that star, or are there others that have names too?

All stars move east to west. It will be hard to answer your question without knowing in which constellation this star is. Most all of the stars in constellations have names.

Guess what? ALL of the stars appear to move from east to west, because the earth's rotation is toward the east. All of the stars have names, too, or designations at least. Without more information, it is not possible to tell you the name of "that star".

Based on the times you describe, probably what you're seeing is Venus. Lately Venus has been a very bright object in the pre-dawn sky, much brighter than any star.
