Why is it masculine?
Aigle is masculine. It derives from Latin "aquila" (feminine), but French reassigned it to the masculine gender. The most likely explanation is phonetic: the -le ending in Old French became associated with masculine nouns (as in "male," "sale," "tale"), influencing the gender assignment of "aigle" despite its feminine Latin origin. The heraldic usage may have reinforced this masculine association.
