What is the male form of the Spanish term quinceañera?

The male form of the Spanish term quinceañera is quinceañero.

Quinceañero follows Spanish gendered noun patterns: quinceañera is feminine, while quinceañero is masculine. Both terms are related to quince años and describe a person associated with a 15th-birthday coming-of-age celebration.

Quinceañera is far more widely recognized in English and Spanish-language popular culture, partly because the tradition has historically centered on girls. However, boys and gender-diverse young people may also have celebrations using different names or adapted customs.

Usage is not identical in every community. Families may choose a local, personal, or inclusive name, so quinceañero describes a traditional masculine form rather than a universal rule for every modern celebration.
