Concept information

Preferred term

quinceañera  

Definition(s)

  • In its most simple definition, a quinceañera refers to a young woman's 15th birthday party to celebrate her coming of age. The Spanish word quince (15) added to añera means “the 15-year-old,” but the term quinceañera refers to both the girl turning 15 and the party associated with this birthday.
