November is a busy month for birthdays among the people we track. This guide picks out the best-known names born in November, grouped week by week, with links to each day's full birthday page. Numbers in brackets are ages as of each person's November 2026 birthday, calculated from their recorded birth date.
How we chose these names
We started with everyone in our database who has a November birth date and ranked them by their typical daily Wikipedia readership: the median daily page views on a normal day, measured a week or more back so that a recent spike doesn't distort it. This is a list of who is most read on an ordinary day, not who is trending this week.
A few widely read names were missing from that ranking because our records lacked their birth date or recent readings, so we have added them by hand, among them Leonardo DiCaprio, Joe Biden and Winston Churchill. For today's names at any point in the year, see Born today.
1 to 7 November
- 2 November: Shah Rukh Khan, Indian actor, producer and television personality (61).

Names from history
A few November birthdays belong to people whose lives ended long ago but who are still read every day:
- Winston Churchill, born 30 November 1874, draws nearly 8,000 views on a typical day.
- Martin Luther, born 10 November 1483, still draws around 4,000 views on a typical day.
- Marie Curie, born 7 November 1867, draws around 5,000.
- Bruce Lee, born 27 November 1940, draws nearly 7,000.
- Tina Turner, born 26 November 1939, draws a little over 4,000.
Who is above their normal right now
Because we track each person against their own typical day, we can also see which November-born names were drawing more attention than usual as of early November 2026. On the latest day we recorded:
- Sally Field was at about six times her typical daily views.
- Sam Rockwell was at about four times his.
- Sherrod Brown and Martin Luther were each at nearly three times theirs.
- Ethan Hawke was at a little over twice his.
We don't know from page views alone what is behind any of these, and we don't guess. Each person's page carries the latest headlines we have matched to them.
Using the birthday pages
- Every date in the month has its own page, such as 8 November, listing everyone we track who was born that day.
- Born today always shows the current date's birthdays.
- Trending now shows who is drawing the most attention above their own normal, birthday or not.
Readership figures come from Wikipedia's public pageview statistics.
