What are male attendants in a traditional quinceañera court commonly called?

Male attendants in a traditional quinceañera court are commonly called chambelanes.

Chambelanes participate alongside the celebrant and the damas. Their roles may include joining the formal entrance, performing a choreographed dance, appearing in official photographs, and accompanying the quinceañera during public parts of the celebration.

The term does not mean that every event must have male attendants. Quinceañera customs differ across countries, families, and generations, and some modern celebrations use smaller courts or no court at all.

A chambelán is also different from a quinceañero. The quinceañero is the male celebrant of a fifteenth-birthday event, while a chambelán is an attendant. Keeping those terms separate prevents a common vocabulary mix-up when describing the court.
