Etymology

Glutamine comes from glutamic (from gluten, meaning 'glue') because the related acid was first found in wheat gluten, and the ending -amine comes from 'ammonia', showing it has nitrogen. So, glutamine is an amino acid, a nitrogen-containing building block that helps the body make and use proteins.
