How to bring usernames into one readable system?

There is a network for 100+ machines, there are a bunch of usernames from user25 and buh43 to office names, initials of people (some don't work anymore), etc. I want to bring usernames into a single system, so as not to sit guessing remembering a set of associations with this gibberish, but to simplify my workdays as much as possible :) + this business will scale.
How to do it? Be attached to the physical location of the computer (office, etc.)? Be tied to the staffing of people? Or are there already some more logical methods for creating a system of ordered user accounts?

Psst. Boy, I have the right method for you.
Ivanov Petr Semenovich
must match the email before @
if you are creating an account for a person who is not an employee of the enterprise, put "-" instead of "."
can always separate external from
yours to separate accounts, add the destination label
p.ivanov.admin
p.ivanov.test

because even admins on their PC do not work under the global admin account if there
is a match, for a new user, simply add a patronymic letter, or add letters from the name
ps.ivanov
pes.ivanov

By structure in Active Directory:
Create a structure at the root if there are no separate domains in the forest:
Do not use the Buildin and Users folders to create your accounts.
All divisions are in full accordance with the staffing table, the accounts are filled in completely (in the "Name" field, the Name and Patronymic are indicated).
All this will allow you to automatically, based on the staffing of the accounting system, keep the structure of accounts up to date. Vasya Petrov left a distant warehouse from work, and his account is guaranteed to be turned off the next day, and then there will be no need to look for who messed up in the accounting system.
All other methods are contrived.

Most organizations have adopted something like this convention.

For
your organization - above the roof. If there are namesakes, sort it out locally.
Well, 100 computers is not so much to rename everyone now. After all, the majority is already used to it, many emails among customers have been tangled up. Renaming may be more expensive than you think.
Just start all new users according to the rule.
Organization by departments - there are groups, there are fields for comments and location. In the login - there should be only a first name and last name.

There may be 2 and 3 Ivanovs ...
I was thinking about compound logins - part of the name of the department and the surname with initials

@MaxDukov

our username is 6 (or less if the last name is like Lee) letters of the last name, plus initials. In the case of the Ivanovs/Petrovs, etc. , i.e. full match of the login, add a number at the end.
On Ford - the first letter of the name + 7 letters of the surname. There, by the way, there was a funny situation. A certain Svetlana Rakova was very indignant, her login was redone.
On Nissan - just the country prefix (we have - ru) + personnel number.

I'll tell you with my own example, maybe you will be able to implement something similar.
In our company, each employee has a personnel number. I "come up with" names for AD accounts as follows: u[ХХХХХ], where u is an abbreviation for user, ХХХХХ is the personnel number itself. It could have been just XXXXX, but I decided to add a letter in front just in case (I'm one of those who prefer to play it safe and even give names to all OS objects mostly in English))).
The advantages of this method:
