What notes are guitar strings supposed to be tuned to?

Question:I was given an electric guitar as a gift a while ago, but lost interest quickly and the guitar fell very out of tune. I now want to try and learn a bit, work a bit on it, but I don't even know what note to tune the strings to. I've got the tuner, just not the knowledge of the note names. Thanks!
