What is the traditional name for the quinceañera’s formal court or group of attendants?

The traditional name for the quinceañera’s formal group of attendants is the court of honor.

A court of honor usually consists of friends or relatives selected to accompany the celebrant during formal entrances, photographs, choreographed dances, and other public parts of the event. Its members may include girls, boys, or a mixed group, depending on family preference and local custom.

Spanish terminology is also common. Female attendants are often called damas, while male attendants are commonly called chambelanes or chambelanes de honor. These titles describe members of the court, whereas court of honor names the group as a whole.

The size and composition are not fixed worldwide. Some celebrations use a large court, some use only a few attendants, and others omit a formal court entirely.
