What is the Spanish plural of “quinceañera” for multiple celebrants?

The Spanish plural of “quinceañera” for multiple female celebrants is “quinceañeras.” The word keeps the ñ and adds the standard Spanish plural ending -s.

In Spanish, quinceañera is a feminine noun referring to a girl or young woman celebrating her fifteenth birthday, and by extension to the celebration itself in some contexts. Its plural form is therefore used when discussing more than one celebrant or more than one such celebration.

The related word quinceañero can refer to a male celebrant in some Spanish-speaking contexts, although usage and the popularity of male equivalents vary by country and community. That distinction makes “quinceañeros” an unsuitable answer when the question specifically concerns female celebrants.

The spelling is also frequently simplified incorrectly as “quinceanera” when the ñ is unavailable. In Spanish orthography, however, the ñ is part of the standard spelling and distinguishes the word’s pronunciation and written form.
