Why is my name AirierChaff1868? I logged in with my Microsoft account & never had to enter a name?

So this is really weird.

I just logged in here for the first time with my Microsoft account, and apparently my screen name is “AirierChaff1868”?
I’ve never had this name for anything ever and I don’t recognize it either.

Where is it from?
How do I change it?
Who do I contact about this?

Thanks

Huh, strange. I’ve never had an xbox in my life.

Does Forza use this name as well?

It’s the Gamertag. Every XBox (Win10) game uses this name.

It’s the second sentence on the linked website:

‘If your gamertag was created for you when you initially signed up for Xbox (meaning you did not choose it yourself), you can change it one time for free.’

Ah alright.

I was worried some funky account breach thing or another was going on.

Thank you!
