How the list is made
Each name comes from Wikidata, the free, openly licensed knowledge base run by the Wikimedia Foundation, which also hosts Wikipedia. We take people whose birth date is recorded to the exact day and who have articles in at least 28 Wikipedia language editions, a rough but transparent measure of how widely known someone is. The current list holds 34,375 people and was last refreshed on October 30, 2026.
We show only a name, a short description of what the person is known for, and their birth year. There are no photos, and nothing about anyone's private life. Birth dates recorded only in the old Julian calendar are left out, so a few historical figures do not appear.
Wikidata content is available under the CC0 1.0 public domain dedication. Descriptions are lightly shortened and life-span dates are removed; where Wikidata has no English description, we show the first two occupations on the person's record instead. People whose description centers on a crime, a death, an illness or their private life are left out. If you spot an error, email editorial@starcelebia.com.
Questions people ask
How do I find famous people born on my birthday?
Choose your birth month and day in the finder and press Show. The list loads for that date, sorted so the most widely covered people come first. Every date also has its own page with the full list.
Who decides who counts as famous?
We use a simple, checkable rule: a person is listed when Wikidata links them to articles in at least 28 different Wikipedia language editions. That favours people known across many countries over local celebrities.
Why is someone I know of missing from a date?
They may have fewer Wikipedia language editions than our cut-off, their birth date may be recorded only to the month or year, or the record may use the old Julian calendar, which we leave out to avoid showing the wrong day.
Can I reuse this data?
The underlying facts come from Wikidata, which is published under the CC0 public domain dedication. You can use Wikidata yourself; please link to the date pages here if you cite our lists.
