   What does “belated” mean on a birthday?

   • The expression “Happy Birthday” developed from that. When we place “belated” in front of “Happy birthday,” we are wishing you a late “Happy birthday,” meaning that our wishes are delayed or later than they should be. Originally, “belated” meant “overtaken by night” and implied that you had stayed too late into the night.

   Should you say 'belated birthday' or 'belated happy birthday'?

   • Although people often say “Happy belated birthday,” it is technically incorrect. Instead, they should say “Belated happy birthday” because our wishes are late, not your birthday. “Happy birthday” is a complete expression, and “belated” applies to both words rather than just “birthday,” which could be implied if you placed it in the middle.
