What Does "Happy Belated Birthday" Mean?
Happy belated birthday meaning: The phrase "happy belated birthday" means you're sending birthday wishes after the actual birth date has passed. The word "belated" refers to something that's late or delayed. It's a polite way of acknowledging that you're sending your wishes after the person's birthday.
When you say "happy belated birthday," you're essentially saying "I'm sending these birthday wishes belatedly (late)," not that the birthday itself was late. It's a common expression used when remembering someone's birthday after the date has passed.
