The original authors are: James Potter, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew and Sirius Black.

James got his nickname 'Prongs' because of his Animagus, the stag

Lupin got his nickname 'Moony' as he is a werewolf and when there is a full moon he transforms.

Pettegrew got his nickname 'Wormtail' as he was and Animagus and could turn into a rat, hence Wormtail.

Sirius got his nickname 'Padfoot' as he was also an Animagus and could turn into a dog.

Together they are: Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs.

You can probably find out this information from the book 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
