Why is it feminine?

Soberanía is feminine because it ends in "-ía", a productive feminine suffix in Spanish. This suffix typically derives from Latin feminine forms (often -ia or -itas endings) and consistently produces feminine nouns in Spanish. The word comes from the adjective "soberano" (sovereign), and the "-ía" suffix converts it into an abstract noun. Spanish nouns ending in "-ía" such as "soberanía," "alegría," and "poesía" are consistently feminine.
