The Spanish word often used for a male attendant in a quinceañera court is chambelán.
A chambelán may accompany the quinceañera during the entrance, formal photographs, and choreographed dances. The plural form is chambelanes. In English-language descriptions, the word is often translated loosely as escort or male attendant, although regional terminology can differ.
A chambelán is not automatically the celebrant's romantic partner. He may be a brother, cousin, friend, or another trusted participant chosen by the family. The role also differs from padrino, a sponsor who may contribute money, services, or arrangements to the celebration.
