trouble putting variable into the variable

I have many icons, with names icon1, icon2, icon3 and so on... which are coming from server

how can I make a forloop and set that iconNUMBER in a loop automatically?.

I tried this: 

{% for i in "1234" %}
  {{icon}}{{forloop.counter}}
{% endfor %}

but this is not giving me what I want. why cannot I do something like this: 

{{ icon{{forloop.counter}} }},

but this is giving me error, saying it cannot parse the expression

I guess you are looking for concatenation of your icon variable and for loop counter.

{% for i in "1234" %}
 {% with c=forloop.counter|stringformat:"s" %}
  {{icon|add:c}}
 {% endwith %}
{% endfor %}
