I was checking my facebook and I was curious about a type of website where you type the address with your name after that and it generates a random name, an example in the attached image, can someone explain to me how this type of website is made?

That's how a typical link shorteners work. Do you want to know how to build a link shortening website like bit.ly/shorte.st?

not exactly, I'd like to know how this part of generating the name works when you put the link on facebook and how it redirects to another site when access.

It's a simple facebook app which fetches your first name and after completing the quiz, you're asked to share it on your facebook and it generates the shortlink with your first name and no matter which word you insert in the link shortener, it always redirects to the same quiz site. It's a simple redirect script used to track which user is bringing them the most traffic.
