What is the Spanish masculine counterpart to the term quinceañera?

Quinceañero is the Spanish masculine counterpart to quinceañera.

The term can describe a boy celebrating his fifteenth birthday in a comparable coming-of-age event. The feminine form is much more widely recognized internationally because the traditional celebration has historically centered on girls, but some families and communities hold quinceañero celebrations for boys.

A quinceañero event may include formal clothing, family participation, music, dancing, and a religious service, depending on the family. There is no single worldwide program, and practices vary by country, religion, and community.

The distinction is grammatical as well as cultural. The ending -a in quinceañera is feminine, while -o in quinceañero is masculine. Both words are built around quince, the Spanish word for 15. English-language usage sometimes applies quinceañera broadly to any fifteenth-birthday celebration, but quinceañero is the specific masculine term.
