It is listed as Mark Allan, I imagine the software author or company.

2See my answer to apple.stackexchange.com/q/450884/221742 It appears to be some issue in Ventura where the developer name is registered instead of the App name. Luckily my answer hasn't yet been upvoted, or I would have marked your question as a duplicate.– Andy GriffithsCommented Nov 23, 2022 at 10:46

I think we ought to link these as dupes, as it appears to be the same underlying issue - Allow in the Background Unrecognized Entry– TetsujinCommented Nov 24, 2022 at 8:58

@Tetsujin Respectfully I disagree -- the question is clearly "what is this login item", and that is not answered in the specific sense (ClamXAV), only in the generic sense (some apps have the developer name), nor does it provide a mechanism for discovering who Mark Allen is.– David McKeeCommented Feb 3, 2023 at 11:38

@DavidMcKee - you say that as though linking them was a bad thing. It isn't, it's a good thing; it lets people find an answer from multiple routes, different searches. This is a Ventura bug, so it crops up in many guises… one for each developer name.– TetsujinCommented Feb 3, 2023 at 12:08

Mark Allan is the author/founder of ClamXAV, Mac Antivirus software.
I grepped the system, particularly looking at:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/
/Library/LaunchAgents/
~/Library/LaunchAgents/
Couple of the launch services in the above pointed to the same matches here:
grep --recursive --ignore-case "allan" /Applications/ClamXAV.app/Contents/Library/
Binary file /Applications/ClamXAV.app/Contents/Library//LaunchServices/uk.co.canimaansoftware.ClamXAV.HelperToolUpdater matches
Binary file /Applications/ClamXAV.app/Contents/Library//LaunchServices/uk.co.canimaansoftware.ClamXAV.HelperTool matches
The results of the following checked out with the above.
grep --recursive --ignore-case "clam" /Library/LaunchDaemons
