In a traditional quinceañera, the girl’s male attendants are called chambelanes.
Chambelanes form part of the court of honor, a group of relatives or friends who accompany the quinceañera during formal parts of the celebration. They may participate in a choreographed entrance or dance and often wear coordinated formal clothing.
The word is especially common in Mexican and Mexican-American usage, while other Spanish-speaking communities may use different terms. Female attendants are often called damas. Some modern celebrations use a mixed-gender court, a smaller group, or no court at all.
The attendants are ceremonial participants, not officials with a legal role. Their clothing and duties depend on family custom, local practice, and the planned choreography. Because terminology varies, “chambelanes” is the traditional answer for the male members in the Mexican-style court of honor.
