Why is it masculine?
Niños is a masculine noun meaning "boy" or "child" (male). It derives from Latin "nīnnius," a nursery word that was inherently masculine in gender. The Latin diminutive suffix "-inus" (which became Spanish "-ino") carried masculine gender, and this grammaticalized into the Spanish word "niño." Like many Spanish nouns, its masculine gender is conventional and rooted in Latin morphology rather than being derivable from productive Spanish gender rules.
