What Spanish term names the male celebrant of a quinceañera tradition?

The Spanish term for a male celebrant of the same fifteenth-birthday tradition is quinceañero.

The word is the masculine counterpart of quinceañera, which refers to a female celebrant. Both terms are connected to quince años, meaning “fifteen years” in Spanish. In English-language usage, quinceañera is much more widely recognized, because the celebration has historically centered on girls and young women in many communities.

Quinceañero should not be confused with chambelán. A chambelán is a male attendant or dance partner in a quinceañera court, while a quinceañero is the person whose milestone is being celebrated. Padrino is also different: it generally refers to a sponsor or godparent who may help support the event or a related religious ceremony.
