How come a deleted contact is searchable through phonebook

Boyfriend has a htc one and deleted a girls number from contacts. Think they still talk, so looked through his phone book and couldn't see her name. I decided to enter her number in manually into the contact list and it automatically came up with name as unknown with number. When searching through contacts there isn't an unknown saved on phone.
please help!!!

Have you considered that 'Unknown' might mean just that... the phone doesn't know the number because it's not saved there?

I deleted my number from the contact list and when typing in my number it didn't auto come up with rest of phone number and noir did the "unknown" above number

it just doesn't seem logically that he deleted the number from phone book as phone did remember the number after typing a few digits. Please can anyone else shed some light
