Is there a way to duplicate a Safari bookmark to a particular webpage in
the same bookmark folder but give the new bookmark a different name?
When i try that, the original bookmark disappears and is replaced by the
new-named one.
In short, what I'm trying to accomplish is to have two different-named
bookmarks to the same webpage in the same Safari bookmarks folder.

You don't say which version of MacOS / Safari or how you are creating

the duplicate bookmark. It sounds like you might be using the Rename
function, which renames the bookmark - it doesn't create a duplicate.
It should be very simple:
- Go to the webpage
- Create a bookmark, call it whatever you want and save
it wherever you want in your bookmarks folders
- Create another bookmark, call it whatever you want and
save it wherever you want in your bookmarks folders.
The only reason I can think of for a duplicated bookmark being
automatically removed would be if using a third-party bookmark managing
app with such a feature.

(19617.1.17.11.12), no bookmarks manager.
I have an existing bookmark to a certain webpage. I open Safari, go to
that webpage, then click Bookmarks, Add Bookmark. I enter a different
name and it creates a new bookmark-- but deletes the original one.

webpage as you want (although I can't really think of any reason why
you would need two bookmarks for the same webpage).
Something isn't working properly.
It could be the bookmarks preference file has become corrupted. Try
quitting Safari, then copying the file Users/{your user
name}/Library.Safari/Bookmarks.plist to another location (e.g.
downloads) and then deleting it, then restart Safari and try adding
your bookmarks again. If it works, then the old Bookmarks.plist file is
corrupted.
If you're using iCloud syncing with another device, then that could be
the potential culprit - turn off the syncing and see if the problem
still happens.
You could try saving the second bookmark to a different / new
sub-folder. If that works, then maybe you can use the Edit Bookmarks
option to move it to where you want it.

You could also use a URL shortening service like TinyURL and bookmark
the shortened address instead of the real one.

That should have read:
Users/{your user name}/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
with a / not a . between Library and Safari.

Apple makes all browser bookmark files with Safari as their parent,

where do they get off doing that.
I have one like that I use, but it still opens in Firefox which is what I want.
