Is it derived or derived from?

I do, though, see a marked difference in register: 'comes from' is informal and (to the extent that informal is natural) more natural; 'is derived from' and 'derives from' are both formal, with 'derives from' the more formal of the two.

Where is derive from?

[Middle English deriven, to be derived from, from Old French deriver, from Latin dērīvāre, to derive, draw off : dē-, de- + rīvus, stream; see rei- in Indo-European roots.]
