I am getting notices that an iPhone has connected to the network. Problem is, it's not mine of anyone associated with the household. Deco X60.

@Alexandre. Thanks for the link. I had read that article but it doesn't address why someone unrelated to my household could connect to my password protected WiFi. It has happened multiple times over a few weeks.

Yes, it does not address that.
That link from Apple Support web site explains why iPhone from your household may appear as new device, on your password protected WiFi network. Which may, or may not apply to your situation.
From what information you gave, it is not clear if it does or if it does not.

Hi, I agree with Alexandre that the private MAC address might make the Household Devices recognized as the new unknown devices;
To solve the mystery, you could turn off the private address to have a test;
Thank you very much.

@Houndstooth Thanks so much for the suggestions as to what may be happening. What is unique to this situation, when I get the notice that the device has connected to the network, it states the name of the person who owns the device. It is never anyone associated with my household! It is a random name. Also, no one in our family has an IPhone! I changed the password on the wireless so we will see if that helps.
