Why is it feminine?

Nómina is feminine because it derives from the Latin feminine noun *nōmina*, which is the nominative plural form of *nōmen* (meaning "name"). Spanish inherited its grammatical gender from Latin, and feminine nouns ending in -a typically retain feminine gender in Spanish. The word originally referred to a list of names, particularly in legal or administrative contexts, and maintained the feminine gender through its evolution into modern Spanish.
