Hi there hg3hg3hg3,


Thanks for posting. It looks like you have a question about merging contacts when you set up iCloud contacts, and we're happy to provide an answer.


This resource is specific to macOS, but the same information will apply to what merging means on the iPhone as well: Merge contact cards in Contacts on Mac


"If you have more than one card for a contact in an account, you can merge the cards. Merging cards combines the cards and keeps all the unique information in a single card."


We hope this answers your question! Kindest regards.
