Why is it masculine?

Sobrinos is masculine because it derives from Latin "sobrinus," which was the masculine form used for a nephew, ultimately from "soror" (sister), and Spanish inherited this grammatical gender from the Latin etymon. The feminine form "sobrina" was created by applying the regular Spanish feminine suffix "-a" to the masculine root.
