As originally defined by IBM on the Stretch project one byte is a group of bits of whatever length was needed to store one character of the current character set, this was originally specified to be anything from 4 to 16 bits, but was reduced in the actual machine to 4 to 8 bits due to implementation issues.
When IBM designed the System/360 they decided to fix the byte at 8 bits to save costs and hardware.
When byte mode was added by Univac to the 1100 series, they defined the byte at 9 bits because they had a 36 bit word.
Generally now the industry considers a byte to be 8 bits.
