Why 6.3 volts?

Time to ponder a new question. Why did 6.3 volts seem to become the defacto standard for fillament voltage for so long ? Early radio tubes that needed 2.5 volts were run at 1.5 to 2.5 and we'll leave out series string for now. Was it a transformer thing like only takes one layer? Power? Na, power is the same we just jugle the volts/ amps.
Why 6.3?
