Depends upon evironment for which the variable would belong. ;-)

Assuming a shell and one of the 2 common types...

bash/sh:
$ variable="name"
or for export:
$ export variable="name"

tcsh/csh:
> set var value
> setenv var value

examples:
 (bash):
$ export TERM="vt100"
 (csh):
> setenv TERM vt100

Is this sufficient for your needs?
