The noun nerd comes from the adjective nerdy. A nerd is typically a person who is over technical and knows everything, someone who is very studious and dilligent. The word nerd was first used in the 1951 in one of the Dr Seuss books but became more popularly used in everyday language from around 1960. It was frequently used in the popular US sitcom Happy Days and has stuck since then. Today is a widely used word.
