Answer: ASHKENAZIC jews

The Hebrew word "Ashkenaz" referred to Germany. So "Ashkenazic Jews" is a name used to refer to those of Jewish ancestry living in Germany, as well as surrounding areas (France and eastern Europe).

The Hebrew word "Sepharad" referred to Spain. "Sephardic Jews" refers to Jews of Spain and Portugal, as well as North Africa and the Middle East. Remember that migration of Jewish and Arab populations into Spain and Portugal came by way of North Africa, so that helps you understand why those regions are all grouped under the name "Sephardic."
