Actually what you seem to be trying to do is create a new kind
of defn function which creates named functions as a side-effect.
This is similar to the common lisp defstruct function which
creates accessors. Define your own "defn" function, such as
"defthing" and let it do the side-effects for you.

The fact that you are trying to generate functions based on data that
is available at run time rather than at compile time is a signal that
you should probably be using functions rather than macros to do what
you want. Here is one way:
(defn make-fn [kwd]
(fn [n] (= n kwd)))
(defn intern-fn [kwd]
(let [fn-name (symbol (str "prefix-" (name kwd)))]
(intern *ns* fn-name (make-fn kwd))))
