Adding words on a copied file

Is anyone here aware of a way I can add additional characters to a file that's being copied from a variable in shell script?

Something along the lines of...

COPY=`cp /pathname/$VARIABLE /pathname/$VARIABLE + "A"`

You want to add something to the end of the filename when you do the copy?

Not tested, but should work.
Code:
COPY=${cp /pathname/$VARIABLE /pathname/${VARIABLE}A}
