List of Masculine Gender and Feminine Gender of Human Beings and Animals > Grammatical Genders

A noun denotes the name of a person or animal or a thing, at the same time it also denotes the gender of them.
E.g.-
The words ‘man’ and ‘woman’ are common nouns, which denotes the names of persons. At the same time these nouns also indicate their gender.

The noun ‘man’ indicates to a person who has some masculine qualities and so it belongs to masculine gender

On the other hand, the noun ‘woman’ indicates to a person who has some feminine qualities, so, it belongs to feminine gender.
