And can you tell me if Shekinah is a feminine gender noun?
It means divine presence or God dwells within.
But I need to know if it is truly a feminine gender noun?

Yes, Shekina is a she
Also we pronounce it sh-chi(pronounced as in “architect”)-nah
Which literally means the action of dwelling somewhere.

So if you said Shekina and you were speaking about a god dwelling somewhere. Then would it be taken as the god is female? And she dwells there?

Not exactly, because the term is speaking about a kind of energy, it’s not a way to address god, it is the relic of god that dwells in every being.
Anyways In Hebrew God is a plural term (El-oh-eem) and as far as i know there is also a theory says that god, as a perfect being is both male and female…
And also it’s a being so best way to address it would be “it”
Hope I could help

So the kind of energy is female then?
Right you wouldn’t be addressing God but describing…
If you were describing that energy that one generally associates with a god then it would be female energy?

Yes, it’s a female.
Some rabbis even address it as ״the queen״
