Gender PHP extension is a port of the gender.c program ... The main purpose is to find out the gender of firstnames.

As of why, you don't need a why in open source. Some people treat gender as a function of their firstname, apparently, and need that information somewhere - maybe for localization, maybe for personalization, maybe for form-filling auto-suggestion purposes.
