It's unlikely that you've been hacked. Duplicate contacts or strange names associated with your number can occur due to syncing errors or third-party apps. Try syncing contacts or checking for any recently installed apps that might affect contacts. If the issue persists, consider contacting Samsung support for further assistance.

@Tdaul It is saved in his phone. Why would you think that you have been hacked? Am I misunderstanding? 

Your phone doesn't create a contact in his phone. 

Sounds like he mistyped something when entering the contact on his phone.
