This is (somewhat ironically) called a "predictable interface name".
I don't know whether you can opt out of it under systemd: I'll leave
that for the experts (under sysvinit I still have the good old [1]
wlan0 etc. -- which I much prefer *in my context*)

[1] Yes, I know the technical advantages and the whys of those
   predictable interface names. No, in my case the engineering
   tradeoff still skews *heavily* towards "traditional" names.
   And yes, I prefer to make this choice myself.
