Frank Borman - Command Module
Pilot James Lovell
Lunar Module Pilot William Anders
They became the first humans to travel beyond low Earth orbit, the first to see Earth as a whole planet, and then the first to directly see the far side of the Moon.
Apollo 8 was the first manned mission to orbit the moon. The crew members were Frank Borman, James A. Lovell, Jr., William A. Anders
The Apollo missions had different crew sizes, with the majority of missions having a crew of three astronauts. However, the first two Apollo missions (Apollo 7 and Apollo 9) were crewed by three astronauts, while Apollo 8 and Apollo 10 had crews of four. Apollo 11, which famously landed on the moon, had a crew of three.
21 December 1968 Crew: Anders, Borman, Lovell. Backup Crew: Aldrin, Armstrong, Haise.
Very simple - it was the next mission in the series after Apollo 7. One of the crew members - James Lovell - drew a sketch from which the mission patch was made. It showed the path of the spacecraft, going off to the Moon and returning to Earth describing a figure of 8. Lovell knew that the actual flight path wouldn't be an exact figure of 8, but it was descriptive of the aim of the mission - to fly to the Moon and return - and was a very visual way of including the mission number.
Jim Lovell flew on Apollo 8 and Apollo 13. Apollo 8, launched in December 1968, was the first manned mission to orbit the Moon, where Lovell and his crew captured iconic images of Earth. Apollo 13, launched in April 1970, famously faced a life-threatening in-flight emergency, but Lovell and his crew successfully returned to Earth thanks to the ingenuity and teamwork of both the astronauts and mission control.

Because he was the backup commander of Apollo 8. The crew rotation worked in the way that the backup crew would become the prime crew of 3 missions later. 11-8=3.
