  • Just saying: Properly identifying a scale is not hard, in this case it would be 121313. Assigning a name to something like this is quite arbitrary, and thus of limited use. – Lazy May 13 '22 at 08:43

Ianring.com calls this scale "Ionocrian". It is also discussed, with different details described, at stanleyjordan.com.

To the best of my understanding the name was assigned by William Zeitler.

scales-chords.com doesn't list it.

The scale exists as a "hypothetical" scale, with the name assigned for convenience, but it's not used in any of the major musical systems.
