Of course it exists, in Romanian is called "cătun".
It has the same origin with the word "canton" (like the Swiss cantons).

It's derived from the Latin word "cantus", meaning "slope", and it referred to the land division of the mountain slopes.

Borrowed from Byzantine Greek κατοῦνα (katoûna, “soldier's tent, tent camp”), borrowed from Italian cantone (“region”).Orel derives it as compound of ka (“out, from”) and tund (“to shake, dangle”), a calque of Proto-Slavic *kolyba (“hut”), folk-etymologized from *kolybati (“to shake”).

People from the Cantabrian mountains and the Pyrenees in Spain are mountain people. There's more mountain systems in Spain but i'm more familiarized with the cantabrian one. Hard working and honest people.
