It's called the "middle eight" because it includes the middle section of the original theme, which was left out of the Murray Gold version. Eight is, I think, because there are eight bars in it; it's a bridging section between the main theme at the beginning and the end. And a lot of old fans missed that part in the 2005 theme...
