  • How did you get photos into the Photos app? Was it from iOS? Do you have faces in your contacts app on OS X? It's hard to guess from the scant details you've included.

  • photos are just from photostreams that have been created from iOS sources i.e. iphone, ipad. It's not possible that some of the faces exist as contacts as they are too young and thus have no phone/mail/other contact point, I have even checked the contacts app on the imac and they do not exist there

It has access to the face data in your contacts, such as from syncing with Facebook. So, it's found similarities to those pictures.
