A miscellaneous 8 line stanza is called an octet. But the 8 line stanza which forms the first verse of a Sonnet is called an octave, and the commonest form of 8 line stanza (by far) in English is called ottava rima.

An octet is used to represent an eight line stanza. However it is also called an octave when used in a sonnet as the first eight lines.
