What is the traditional name for the quinceañera’s male dance partner of honor?

The traditional name for a quinceañera’s male dance partner of honor is chambelán de honor.

A chambelán de honor is the principal male attendant in a traditional quinceañera court. He may be a brother, cousin, friend, or another person selected by the celebrant and her family. His role can include accompanying her during the entrance and dancing with her during the formal presentation.

The phrase combines chambelán, meaning an attendant or escort in this context, with de honor, meaning “of honor.” Other attendants may simply be called chambelanes.

Terminology differs among countries and families. Some celebrations use a single escort, while others have a full court or no designated partner. Modern events may also replace the traditional arrangement with a parent, several friends, or a choreographed group.
