The Spanish term for the boy honored in a quinceañera-style 15th-birthday celebration is quinceañero.
Quinceañero is the masculine counterpart to quinceañera. It can describe a boy celebrating his fifteenth birthday in a similar coming-of-age tradition. The event may include formal clothing, family speeches, music, a ceremonial presentation, and a reception.
The masculine celebration is less standardized and less widespread in many communities than the quinceañera tradition for girls. Families may use the same name, quince años, for the birthday occasion, while others describe it simply as a fifteenth-birthday celebration.
Quinceañero should not be confused with chambelán. A chambelán is an attendant in a quinceañera’s Court of Honor; a quinceañero is the male celebrant whose fifteenth birthday is being honored.
