Contact names lost on iPhone

All of a sudden, I have lost some of the contact on the iPhone. Tried resetting the iCloud service on the iPhone, tried turning on and off contacts in iCloud, nothing worked. Any ideas? Thank you.

Why have I lost a large amount of contacts on my iPhone? As of the last 3 days, I cannot pull up regularly used phone numbers from my contact list. Oddly, I can access them by going into messages, clicking on the "info" button, then retrieving the number from there. Has this happened to anyone else?

Disappearing contacts Many, many contacts missing from my contact list. However, if a contact calls, the correct name is displayed. If I dial the number ( as I did with a Doctor) the name is displayed. But I can’t search for or find these people in contacts. Tried erasing all contacts and re-populated from the cloud. That seemed to work for a bit ( at least a week). But now missing again. Of note, I can specifically identify 2 contacts that went missing/repopulated/ now missing. So it may be that there is something in common with the missing contacts. Any ideas would be appreciated. Iphone11, up to date iOS, I do not pay for storage.
