Why is it feminine?
Aube is feminine because it derives from the Latin "alba" (feminine), which meant "white" or "dawn," and Latin grammatical gender was preserved through Old French into Modern French. The word's feminine form became fixed in the language's evolution, even though the semantic shift from "whiteness" to specifically "dawn" occurred after the gender was already established.
