What Spanish term names the quinceañera honoree’s ceremonial group of attendants?

The Spanish term for the quinceañera honoree’s ceremonial group of attendants is corte de honor, meaning “court of honor.”

The court traditionally consists of young women, called damas, and young men, called chambelanes. They may accompany the honoree during the entrance, stand with her during formal portions of the event, and perform a rehearsed dance.

The size and composition of the court vary widely. Some celebrations use a large group, while others feature only a few attendants or none at all. Modern families may also choose a mixed-gender group based on friendship and family relationships rather than older conventions.

The court is not a royal title or a legal institution. It is a ceremonial part of the celebration, similar to an honor party or attendant group at another formal milestone.
