The traditional Spanish name for the male attendants in a quinceañera’s court is chambelanes.
A quinceañera’s court of honor usually consists of young people who accompany the honoree during formal parts of the celebration. Male members are commonly called chambelanes, while female members are commonly called damas. Together, they may participate in the entrance, posed photographs, choreographed dances, and other presentation rituals.
The size and composition of the court are not universal. Some celebrations use a full court, some include only a few attendants, and others omit the court entirely. Families can also adapt the traditional gendered terms or choose friends and relatives of different ages.
Chambelanes are not the same as mariachis, who are musicians, or padrinos, who are sponsors or ceremonial supporters. Those roles may appear at the same event, but they describe different participants.
