What is the Spanish word for the male form of a quinceañera celebrant?

The Spanish word for the male form of a quinceañera celebrant is quinceañero.

Quinceañera is the feminine form associated with a girl celebrating her fifteenth birthday, while quinceañero is the masculine form. The distinction follows Spanish grammatical gender and reflects the way the tradition has historically been associated with girls. Male participants and celebrations are less standardized and may be described differently by country or community.

The underlying phrase quince años means “fifteen years.” In many places, people use quinceañera broadly for the tradition even when discussing variations in format, while quinceañero identifies a male celebrant.

The word should not be confused with chambelán, which names a male escort in the court. A quinceañero is the person being celebrated; a chambelán is an attendant or dance partner.
