An iCloud address is linked to a specific Apple ID and therefore nobody else could have set it up unless they had access to your account at some time. You cannot change your primary iCloud email address but you can add aliases.
Use email aliases on iCloud.com - https://support.apple.com/guide/icloud/use-email-aliases-mm6b1a490a/icloud - "An email alias is an email address that conceals your actual email address from a recipient. An alias can help you manage the email you receive, and monitor the sources of unwanted messages. You can both send and receive email from an email alias using Mail on iCloud.com.
