As a precaution, change your password.

 What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support     I suggest doing this before you change your Apple ID or password.


You can also add 2 Factor Authentication to your account for more security. If the attempts continue, you might want to consider a name change.

See the following from Two-factor authentication for Apple ID https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204915

 

When you sign in on a new device, you’ll get a notification on your other trusted devices that includes a map showing the approximate location of the new device. This is an approximate location based on the IP address the device is currently using, rather than the exact location of the device. The location shown might reflect the network you're connected to, and not your physical location.

 

If you know you’re the person trying to sign in but you don’t recognize the location shown, you can still tap Allow and continue signing in. However, if you ever see a notification that your Apple ID is being used to sign in on a new device and you're not the one signing in, tap Don’t Allow to block the sign in attempt.

 

Note that you can Check your Apple ID device list (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205064and remove any device that shouldn't be signed in using the steps in the link.

 

If there are none that shouldn’t be signed in, then you should not have a problem at this point. But, if an unauthorized device is signed in, Change your Apple ID password https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201355
