Automating variable creation for the output of a function

I have created a function which has upto 10 inputs, which looks like this
varAB=samefn(A, B, randomnum, C,D,E,F,G,H,J,)
The function output is mainly dependent on A and B and the rest inputs are not always varying. But each time I call the 'samefn' with the same inputs, the ouput 'varAB' is different as randonnum is also a input. The outputs I get each time I call the function is as expected.
I have to call this function for almost 1000 times for the same inputs and even keeping same A and B. So I created a loop and saved this in a cell. Now, each cell can be acessed and is working fine.
But my requirement is I want to save the output as unique variable and save as a separate matfile, each time I call the function 'samefn' for example varAB1, varAB2,...varAB100 for one set of A and B. As I have almost 10 sets of A and B, I have almost 10000 variables!
Eventhough acessing data through cell is easy, I want it as a separate variable so If I load it in python I can access these unique variables. If it is in cell format, all the data will stored in some other format which is not useful for my code there.
I know that creating a separate variable is not ideal way and using 'eval' is not advised.
Please help in automating the name of these variables for set of a A and B.
Like for one set A=1000, B=10 I want to save the variable for 1000 iterations like var_A1000_B10_1 up to varA1000_B10_1000
another set A=500, B=20 I want to save the variable for 1000 iterations like var_A500_B20_1 up to varA500_B20_1000.
Thanks!

Ran in:
N = 100;
varAB = cell(N,1);
for K = 1 : N
varAB{K} = randi(10,1,1); %except do appropriate work here
end
names = "varAB" + (1:N).';
nc = cell2struct(varAB, names);
save('YourFile.mat', '-struct', 'nc');

Notice that no variable names were dynamically created, but the .mat file has individual variables.

Ran in:
N = 10;
A = 23;
B = 36;
names = "var_" + A + "_" + B + "_" + (1:N).'
names = 10×1 string array
"var_23_36_1" "var_23_36_2" "var_23_36_3" "var_23_36_4" "var_23_36_5" "var_23_36_6" "var_23_36_7" "var_23_36_8" "var_23_36_9" "var_23_36_10"
%or
names = compose("var_%d_%d_%d", A, B, (1:N).')
names = 10×1 string array
"var_23_36_1" "var_23_36_2" "var_23_36_3" "var_23_36_4" "var_23_36_5" "var_23_36_6" "var_23_36_7" "var_23_36_8" "var_23_36_9" "var_23_36_10"

Thank you Mr Roberson. I had done similar to your first approach. As in the accepted anwer I just modified varAB with strcat, for Var with A and B, with their values and used this outside the loop
