We may never know the tradition's exact origins, but we do know that it is a centuries-old practice still often used, even though many vessels nowadays bear traditionally male or neutral names.

In some languages, such as Russian and French, the word for "ship" is actually a masculine noun. However, in both Latin and Hebrew, it is a feminine noun.

Additionally, while the English language tends to utilize gender-neutral nouns, many other languages use feminine, masculine, or other types of nouns.

The practice likely originated from ancient times when sailors primarily named their ships after female goddesses or loved ones, further reinforcing the feminine association.

Most sources speculate that the long-standing tradition associates a seafaring vessel with a female figure similar to a mother, who are often seen as protective and nurturing. This aligns with the idea of a ship carrying and protecting its crew through perilous journeys.
