I am assigning variables in robot framework as
*** Variables ***
${TestNAME} test
But can I pass variable value from python file?
#test.py
var = 'test'
Is it possible to assign var to ${TESTNAME}?

If you have a file named "test.py" that has variables defined in it, you can import the variables using the robot variable file feature.
Here's an example, using the pipe-separated format for clarity:
*** Settings ***
| Variables | test.py
*** Variables ***
| ${myTestName} | ${var}
This works because settings are processed before the Variables table. Any variables in the python file can be referenced using the standard robot syntax for variables (eg: python variable var is referenced as ${var})
Note, however, that ${Testname} is automatically set by robot, so your exact requirement can't be met. If you use a non-automatic variable, you can set it the way you want, which is why the above example used ${myTestName}.

eg:- The variable file is as shown - var.py
x = 10
y = 20
file1.robot can be written as shown:-
*** Settings ***
Variables var.py
*** Test Cases ***
KEYW1
Log ${x}
