Chambelanes is the Spanish plural commonly used for a quinceañera's male attendants.
These attendants form the male side of the celebrant's court and may accompany her during the formal entrance, dances, and photographs. Their participation helps create the ceremonial image of a court surrounding the birthday celebrant.
The singular is chambelán, while the plural is chambelanes. English-language families sometimes use escort, escort group, or court instead, and regional usage may differ. The role is ceremonial, not a statement that an attendant is the celebrant's boyfriend.
Traditional descriptions often pair chambelanes with damas. Historically and symbolically, a fourteen-member male group can represent the fourteen years completed before the fifteenth birthday. Contemporary celebrations are flexible, so the number and composition of attendants are chosen by each family.
