Pourquoi est-ce feminine ?

Familia is feminine because it descends from Latin *familia*, which was grammatically feminine—likely because the suffix *-ia* typically marked feminine nouns in Latin, and the word originally referred to the household as a collective entity overseen by the *pater familias*. The feminine ending persisted through the evolution from Latin to Spanish.
