What English name is commonly given to the attendants accompanying a quinceañera?

The attendants accompanying a quinceañera are commonly called her court of honor.

A court of honor is a group of relatives, friends, or other chosen participants who may stand with the honoree during a ceremony and join formal dances at the reception. The group can include young women and young men, although its membership is not governed by one universal rule.

Older descriptions often distinguish female attendants as damas and male attendants as chambelanes. Those Spanish labels are used differently across regions, and many modern celebrations use broader or more inclusive arrangements. The English phrase court of honor is therefore a useful general description.

The court is ceremonial, not a legal or governmental body. Its size, clothing, entrance order, and responsibilities depend on the family’s plans. Some contemporary quinceañeras have no court at all and focus instead on the honoree, family members, and guests.
