Perché è masculine?

Océano is masculine because it derives from Latin "oceanus," which was borrowed from Greek "ōkeanos" (Ὠκεανός)—a proper noun referring to the Titan god of the ocean—and Latin masculine nouns ending in "-anus" retained their gender in Spanish. The masculine gender persisted when the word generalized from a proper noun to a common noun meaning "ocean."
