It seems that a [Ukrainian Dorian scale](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_Dorian_scale) exists which matches the scale you wrote out.

> In music, the Romanian Minor scale or Ukrainian Dorian scale or altered Dorian scale is a musical scale or the fourth mode of the harmonic minor scale. It is "similar to the dorian mode, but with a tritone and variable sixth and seventh degrees"

Apparently also known as the Romanian minor scale, and used prominently in Jewish and Roman music. So it seems a lot of cultures lay claim to it...

I couldn't find some sort of standard for naming these scales, but it seems many of them do exist. For example, if you rotate the A minor harmonic scale to start on F, you seem to get what is called a [Phrygian Dominant Scale](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrygian_dominant_scale).
