The traditional male title for a boy celebrating a quinceañera-style fifteenth birthday is quinceañero. It is the masculine counterpart of quinceañera and refers to the young man reaching age fifteen in a comparable celebration.
Quinceañera traditions historically centered on girls, but boys and families have adapted the custom in different communities. A male celebrant may be called a quinceañero, although terminology and the size or formality of the event depend on family preference and local practice.
A quinceañero should not be confused with a chambelán. A chambelán is a male escort or member of the celebrant’s court, while the quinceañero is the person whose fifteenth birthday is being marked. Similarly, damas are female members of a court, not an alternative name for the celebrant.
