Using Jquery $("a[href*='.sometext']") passing variable instead of static string

Question

I need to get a part of URL with a variable which is not static. Using $("a[href*='.sometext']") which finds href value containing "sometext" string. But I need to pass a variable containing some string. Is there any way to pass a variable instead of hard coded string value?

  
  //comparing string "google": WORKING
  $("a[href*='.google']").css("background-color", "yellow");
  
  //passing variable with string wikipedia: NOT WORKING
  var name="wikipedia";
  $("a[href*=name]").css("background-color", "yellow");
