Sorry for necroing but I see people still liking my post ([Construct NamedTuple dynamically - #2 by kristoffer.carlsson](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/construct-namedtuple-dynamically/15394/2)). It is likely better to use:

```julia
julia> mynames = (:a, :b, :c);

julia> myvalues = [1, 2.0, "hello world"];

julia> (;zip(mynames, myvalues)...)
(a = 1, b = 2.0, c = "hello world")

```
