How calculate 95%=1.96 stdv

Hi NG, I sometimes run into a constant of 1.96 stdv that is used to calculate 95% statistical confidence intervals. But I can't seem to find how the 1.96 stdv is actually derived from a security level of 95%. In the statistical textbooks I've read, there is only a huge table with different stdv's
