Copy files with the same names to their own places in one command

Question

I need to copy files with the same name in multiple directories to their same places,

For Example, Files are as follows:

/var/Aug/test /var/Sep/test /var/Oct/test

And I need to copy them to their own places but named test_1

/var/Aug/test_1 /var/Sep/test_1 /var/Oct/test_1

if I run ls command

ls /var/Aug

Output should be:

test test_1
