Why is it feminine?
Pierre is actually masculine in French, not feminine. It derives from the Latin "petrus" (stone), and like most French nouns ending in "-e," it breaks the common pattern where "-e" typically signals feminine gender—this is an exception that applies to various masculine nouns borrowed from Latin that originally ended in "-us" or "-a."
