What is the common English name for a quinceañera held for a boy?

The common English-language term for a quinceañera-style celebration held for a boy is “quinceañero.”

The Spanish masculine form, quinceañero, can refer to a boy reaching the same age milestone or to his celebration. In English-language communities, the term is often used for a male counterpart to the traditionally feminine quinceañera.

The form and name are not universal. Some families simply call the event a fifteenth-birthday celebration, while others use terms such as quince or quinceañera regardless of the celebrant’s gender. Modern celebrations also vary in their clothing, attendants, dances, and rituals.

Quinceañero should not be confused with quinceañera as a general label for every cultural practice surrounding the milestone. The distinction is primarily grammatical and customary, and usage differs across Spanish-speaking regions and English-speaking communities.
