At one time, sawmills cut green lumber to 2"x8". A higher-humidity board would shrink more than an dryer board, and in any case, the board would be reduced in size by planing (smoothing the rough-cut sides.)
Seems to me that the industry standardized the size of wood about 40 yeas ago. Now, sawmills calculate the size to cut so that dried and planed wood will be a standard size when dried. A 2x6 is actually 1.5 inches thick and 7.25 inches wide.
Conventionally, it would be 2 units wide.

A standard bunk of lumber typically contains 1,000 board feet. For 2x8 lumber, which has a nominal size of 2 inches by 8 inches and an actual size of 1.5 inches by 7.25 inches, each board foot is calculated as 1.5 x 7.25 x 12 inches. Therefore, a bunk of 2x8 lumber would contain approximately 70 to 75 pieces, depending on the specific length of the boards.

A 2x8 refers to a 2 inch by 8 foot piece of wood. The span of a 2x8 is 8 feet.
