ToExpression[Table["bin" <> ToString[n], {n, 4}]]
{bin1,bin2,bin3,bin4}
Head /@ %
{Symbol,Symbol,Symbol,Symbol}
ToExpression["bin" <> ToString[#] & /@ Range[4]]
{bin1,bin2,bin3,bin4}
Head /@ %
{Symbol,Symbol,Symbol,Symbol}
However, it generally easier to use bin[1], bin[2], ..., bin[n] as the variables

Hello,
I would like to be able generate a list of numbers from 1 to n string
format.
binlist={"1","2","3","4",..."n"}
I need to use them in this format to map into a list of variable names
binnames = Map["bin" <> # &, binlist]
