Is there a way to automatically create an entity with a dynamic name?

Hello there, after reading threads and not really understanding, I am sure the solution is out there but… I don’t get it. Here is the problem in my own words:
I would like to create an input_number, which will have a dynamic number in its name. For example, each year’s end the yearly runtime of a fan gets stored, so an automation creates the entity input_number.fan_runtime_2025 whereas the years number is dynamically created.
I know how to create (static name) input_number with the File Editor, but is there a way to let them be created dynamically?
Or maybe there is a better way to store numbers in the databank?
