Why is it masculine?

Nomi is masculine because it derives from Latin "nomen" (name), which was a masculine noun of the third declension, and Italian preserved this grammatical gender through sound changes that dropped the final Latin vowel. The Latin masculine gender was the default for third-declension nouns ending in "-men," making "nome" an inheritance of this ancient grammatical pattern.
