In quinceañera customs, the celebrant’s group of attendants can be called the corte de honor.
The Spanish phrase corte de honor translates literally as “court of honor.” It refers to the group accompanying the quinceañera during formal parts of the celebration, especially the entrance, presentation, and choreographed dances.
A court may include young women, young men, or a mixed group. Its size and composition are not fixed, and many contemporary families choose a smaller court or omit one entirely. Older traditions often coordinated the attendants’ clothing and roles with the celebrant’s gown and formal program.
Corte de honor is a collective term, not the name of one specific attendant. Damas may refer to female attendants, while chambelanes commonly refers to male attendants. Local Spanish usage varies, so some families simply use court, escorts, or attendants in English.
