You can restore them from iCloud. Read the Apple support document called Restore contacts, calendars, bookmarks and more using iCloud.com which says You can use iCloud.com on a computer to recover recently deleted files or restore an earlier version of information that was automatically archived in iCloud.
It has a link for contacts recovery: Restore contacts stored in iCloud on iCloud.com
- On iCloud.com, go to Account Settings, then click Restore Contacts in the Advanced section.
- Available versions are listed by the date and time they were archived.
- To the right of the version you want to restore, click Restore.
- There may be more versions than can be displayed. Scroll to see them all.
- Note: Wait until iCloud finishes restoring your contacts before you change them. During the restore process, any changes you make are not saved.
