The amino acid has central carbon to which carboxyl group binds on the side and to which–R (or variable radical) binds on opposite side. In the upright direction of those ligands the amine group binds central carbon on one side as well as hydrogen binds on opposite side.

The bind of carboxyl group to carbon where hydrogen is agilely attached is accountable for the name ‘acid’ in the amino acids. The bound of amine group in central carbon offers the name ‘amino’.
