I am a user like you, so I don't have access to the data Apple has on file for you to find out if that name is on file for your account. If you made the purchase, I don't think anyone has access to you account. 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.
If you are referring to an email that is supposed to be from Apple, that email sounds like a scam.
Apple will always address you by your name or the name they have on file for you, not Dear Customer, Dear Client or by using your e-mail address. The e-mail will be from @apple.com or @iTunes.com. E-mail addresses can be spoofed. You can go to Mail/View/Message/Show all Headers to see more. Apple emails won't have poor grammar/misspellings. Apple e-mails will never contain an attachment. Apple will never request personal information by email such as Social Security numbers, your Mother’s maiden name or full credit card numbers .
The only exception to the above I have noticed is if you order something from the Apple Store (apple.com), your receipt will be addressed to Dear Apple Customer. That is a receipt for a purchase you initiated.
Avoid phishing emails, fake ‘virus‘ alerts, phony support calls, and other scams.
Identifying legitimate emails from the iTunes Store.
Send the e-mail to Apple as an attachment to a new e-mail before deleting it. You can forward as an attachment by going to Mail/Message/Forward as attachment. Or control - click on the email and select Forward as attachment. Make sure you send it as an attachment to a new email. If you just forward it, it will probably be rejected. You won’t receive a response.
yes I did make a free purchase from App Store and that's when I got the email. but I'm still confused as to why it said 'dear ahmad' since my Apple ID name is Saleeha. can you please tell me why it said dear ahmad, what does that mean? does someone else have access to my iCloud? where did they get this information from?

Do i send the email to reportphising@apple.com?
Since you made the purchase, it isn't really phishing. Save the receipt.
