What is the symbolic doll given to a quinceañera called in Spanish?

The symbolic doll given to a quinceañera is called la última muñeca in Spanish.

La última muñeca means “the last doll.” In the traditional symbolism, the doll represents childhood, and receiving or passing it on marks the celebrant’s movement toward a new stage of life. The ritual is especially associated with family-centered celebrations in which symbolic objects make the transition visible to guests.

The custom is not performed at every modern quinceañera. Families may replace it with another symbolic gift, omit it, or reinterpret it according to personal taste. The doll should therefore be understood as a traditional element rather than a required part of the event.

This ritual is sometimes confused with the changing of shoes or the presentation of a tiara. Those are separate customs that can also symbolize transition or ceremonial status. Regional practice determines which combination appears at a particular celebration.
