The Spanish name for the male equivalent of a quinceañera celebration is quinceañero.
The term applies to a boy or young man celebrating his fifteenth birthday. It uses the masculine Spanish ending, while quinceañera is the feminine form. Both words connect to quince, the Spanish word for fifteen.
Quinceañero celebrations are less standardized in popular culture than quinceañera celebrations. Some families organize a formal party, religious ceremony, special dance, or family gathering; others treat the birthday more casually. The exact customs depend on local traditions and personal preference.
A quinceañero should not be confused with padrino. A padrino is a male sponsor or honored adult associated with a ceremony, while the quinceañero is the celebrant. Likewise, mariachi names a style of Mexican musical ensemble, not the person whose birthday is being celebrated.
