What are the male attendants in many quinceañera courts commonly called?

The male attendants in many quinceañera courts are commonly called chambelanes.

Chambelanes typically accompany the honoree during formal entrances, photographs, and planned dances. They may wear suits or coordinated formal outfits, while female attendants are often called damas. Together, these attendants can form the Court of Honor.

The word and the role are not identical in every country or family. Some celebrations use English terms such as escorts, attendants, or court members, and some do not include a formal court at all. Chambelanes are therefore a common tradition rather than a mandatory part of every quinceañera. The term should also be distinguished from padrino, which usually refers to a sponsor or godparent involved in the celebration.
