Export each frame of data to a list in csv

I have a list of data frames. Each data frame has the same column names and a different number of rows. I would like to export each frame of data to my list in my own csv file. The file name must be the name of the data frame. I looked through several forum posts to try different suggestions, but many of them either didn't work or gave me an empty csv file. Most of the posts I looked at were ~ 4 years old to be part of this.

This is the code I have:

    #Export each data frame within a list
    export = function(data){
    filename = function(x) paste(names(data[[x]]), ".csv");
    write.csv(data, filename,);
    }

    export(data)

The error I get is

"Error in data.frame(list(Column1 = c(1L, 2L, 3L, 4L, : 
arguments imply differing number of rows: 62, 49, 41, 55, 39, 32, 34

Then I thought that maybe I need to use data[[x]]write.csv for reading:

    write.csv(data[[x]], filename,)

But it gives me an error "Error in is.data.frame(x): object 'x' not found"

Here is the structure of my list of data frames.
