I don't know of a pam command in *nix, but there are a ton of modules related to the "Pluggable Authentication Module" with pam in the name. When I say "pam" at work, everyone thinks "PAM".

Pam is also often short for Pamela, which, if we're going to stick to no-gendered-anything-ever, is a gendered name.
