if you have choosen to sync contacts with both iCloud and the computer (Windows/Google/outlook/yahoo) might result duplicate entries. So use singlton sync on all your contacts, calender entries to avoid further inconvienients.
Anyway If it's such annoying to remove them manually,

sync all your contacts to PC. (i.e: Outlook)
delete all contact details from your iCloud + Phone
use 3rd party PC tool to remove duplicates+merge entires via chosed program (i.e Outlook).
after removing duplicates,re-sync contacts with iTunes as a fresh copy.
finally, use a singlton sync as iCloud, instead of both local+cloud. otherwise it'll messup again...
