Why is it feminine?
Historia is feminine because it derives from Latin "historia," which was feminine in gender due to its Greek origin (Greek "ἱστορία" - historia), and this feminine gender was preserved as the word passed into Romance languages like Spanish. The feminine ending "-ia" in Spanish also reinforces this classification, though the gender was fundamentally inherited from Latin rather than determined by the suffix alone.
