I found it referred to as “Major Phrygian” but that’s not a proper name is it.
for example, the scale would go: A Bb C# D E F G A
It sounds great. There must be an issue with the chords in it or something.

Found the witch!
But on a more serious note, this is the closest thing I found, and I think you would have found it yourself already. But here it is anyway
I misread your post. Hmm
It does sound pretty cool and it’s easy to play, too.

I think this might be the Phrygian Dominant mode, the 5th mode of the Harmonic Minor scale

Yep.
At a certain point, the names of altered, more idiomatic modes become comical.
And yet, it’s always nice to have a way to refer to things.
Everything needs a name.
5th mode of harmonic minor makes the most sense to me, because that’s usually how it’s used. Though it is a great mode for riffs and melodies as well.
Hava Nagila, for starters.
