What Spanish name is commonly given to the doll presented during a quinceañera?

La última muñeca, or “the last doll,” is a Spanish name for the doll sometimes presented during a quinceañera.

The doll symbolizes the celebrant's childhood. In a traditional presentation, a younger sister or another child may receive it from the quinceañera, representing a symbolic passing from childhood to a more mature stage of life. The practice is one of several symbolic gestures that families may include in the ceremony or reception.

The doll is not a required part of every quinceañera. Some families use a specially dressed doll, while others replace the custom with a different gift or omit it altogether. Modern celebrations often reinterpret the symbolism in personal ways.

This tradition is separate from the tiara, bouquet, or religious objects that may also appear. Those items can carry their own meanings, and their use varies by region, family, and religious background.
