The usual Spanish name for a male court attendant at a traditional quinceañera is chambelán.
A chambelán may accompany the honoree during the formal entrance, court presentation, photographs, and choreographed dances. The role is ceremonial, and the attendant is often a relative, friend, or classmate selected by the family or celebrant.
The word and its spelling vary across Spanish-speaking communities. Some families use chambelán de honor for a principal male attendant, while others use regional terms such as escort or simply refer to members of the court by their names. The feminine attendants are commonly called damas.
A chambelán is not the same as a padrino. A padrino is generally a sponsor or supporter, often an adult who helps with expenses, planning, or symbolic gifts. Modern celebrations may also omit the court altogether.
