Assign a name of a variable based on another variable

I am looking into an existing pipeline using Gitlab and Terraform.
Basically what it comes down to -
I have a variable passed from the gitlab-ci.yml ( called TF_VAR_x - this is actually generated from a Gitlab CI_COMMIT_TAG variable ) . Is it possible to somehow assign the value of this to a variable name in tfvars? eg if I have something like this in terraform.tfvars -

is it possible to have y be the value of TF_VAR_x somehow?

myname = {
y = “alice”
}
