Why is it feminine?

Albas is feminine because it derives from Latin *alba*, the feminine form of the adjective *albus* (white), which was used as a noun to mean "dawn" or "white garment"—and Latin grammatical gender was preserved when the word entered Spanish. The word's gender is rooted in Latin's three-gender system where adjectives and nouns had assigned genders that determined agreement with articles and other modifiers.
