Orginally? See §7.4 of Planning a Computer System: Project Stretch, edited by Werner Buchholz who coined the term. http://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/text/IBM/Stretc...

For C, see C11 §3.6: “byte — addressable unit of data storage large enough to hold any member of the basic character set of the execution environment” http://www.iso-9899.info/n1570.html#3.6
