Can one create a variable through a function by name
Isn't that what "<-" does?
createVariable <- function(name) {
outputVariable = name

createVariable("myVar")

?"<-"
Perhaps the fastest method would be to use back ticks:
> cvn <- `<-` # assign "assign" to a new name, "cvn"
> cvn("n2", NULL)

NULL
I would like to have a variable myVar initialized with NULL in my
environment. Is this possible?
