What is the traditional name for the quinceañera’s ceremonial court?

The traditional name for the quinceañera’s ceremonial court is the court of honor.

A court of honor is a group of relatives and friends who accompany the quinceañera during formal parts of the celebration. Members may participate in the entrance, posed photographs, choreographed dances, and other presentation rituals. The court can include girls, boys, or a mixed group, depending on the family's preference.

Older descriptions often distinguish damas, or female attendants, from chambelanes, or male attendants. A chambelán may also be described as a male escort or attendant. These labels vary by country and by family, so the broad English term court of honor is useful across regions.

The court is ceremonial rather than governmental or legal. Its members do not hold official authority; their role is to support and accompany the honoree during the event.
