Why is it masculine?

Nome is masculine in Portuguese because it derives from Latin "nōmen," which was grammatically masculine in the second declension, and Portuguese preserved this gender assignment when the language evolved from Vulgar Latin. The masculine gender remained stable through the Romance language development, unlike some other Latin nouns that shifted genders.
