It’s because words that are ending on -а mostly belong to a group of the feminine (жіночий рід).

з wiki
boroda (ukr, feminine) - borda (proto-slavic, feminine) - barda (pie, feminine)
можливо це те що цінилось тими носіями PIE прото-мови, що надали цьому слову жіночій рід

@Alice_Toropova thanks for the reply. I understand that, what I'm curious about is why it is feminine at all? It seems strange to me that it would be that way

@iruuu it’s hard to explain because historically some words became feminine and some of them masculine or neuter or common. It’s like a specific thing about slavic language group.
It (рід) depends on word structure not on word meaning or usage.

because this word can be replaced by the pronoun 'she' and the meaning of this will not change
