What is the usual English name for the organized group accompanying a quinceañera?

The organized group accompanying a quinceañera is usually called the court of honor.

A court of honor commonly consists of friends or relatives selected by the celebrant. Depending on local practice, it may include young women called damas, young men called chambelanes or escortes, or a mixture of both. The group may participate in entrances, formal photographs, and a rehearsed presentation or dance.

The court is ceremonial rather than governmental. Its members represent the celebrant’s social circle and help give the event a formal structure. The number of participants is not fixed, and some modern celebrations omit a court entirely.

Terminology varies across Spanish-speaking regions and English-language communities. Chambelán can refer to a male escort, but it is not a universal label for every participant. “Court of honor” is the broad English name, while individual families may use Spanish or locally preferred terms.
