In a quinceañera, what is the honoree’s formal court commonly called in English?

In a quinceañera, the honoree’s formal group of attendants is commonly called the court of honor.

The court traditionally includes young women and young men selected by the quinceañera. Its members may accompany her during the entrance, formal photographs, choreographed dances, and other ceremonial moments. The size and composition of the group depend on family preference and local custom.

A court of honor is not identical to a wedding party, although the visual arrangement can look similar. Quinceañera attendants do not represent a marriage ceremony, and their roles are usually centered on supporting the birthday honoree. Spanish-speaking families may use regional terms such as damas for female attendants and chambelanes for male attendants.
