In the quinceañera tradition, what is the honoree’s court commonly called in Spanish?

In the quinceañera tradition, the honoree’s court is commonly called la corte de honor.

The phrase means “the court of honor.” It refers to the group of attendants who accompany the quinceañera during formal portions of the celebration. Depending on regional and family custom, the court may include young women and young men, relatives, friends, or a mixture of attendants.

The court’s clothing and choreography are often coordinated with the honoree’s outfit and entrance. Terminology varies: the young women may be called damas and the young men chambelanes, while English-language families may simply say court. La corte de honor therefore names the group as a whole rather than one gender-specific section.
