The traditional Spanish masculine term for a boy celebrating a quinceañera is quinceañero.
The word is the masculine counterpart to quinceañera, the term most commonly associated with a girl’s fifteenth-birthday celebration. It can refer to the honoree rather than to the event itself. In English-language communities, however, “quinceañera” is often used broadly for the entire celebration, even when the honoree is male.
Terminology varies across Spanish-speaking regions and families. Some boys receive a similar fifteenth-birthday event, while others have a less formal birthday party. The scale, religious content, clothing, and ceremonial elements are not fixed by one worldwide rule.
Quinceañero should not be confused with chambelán, a male attendant in a traditional court. The honoree and the attendants have different roles, even though both words may appear in descriptions of the same celebration.
