The word "Sephardic" comes from the Hebrew word "Sepharad," which refers to the Iberian Peninsula, specifically Spain. Sephardic Jews are descendants of Jews who were expelled from Spain in 1492 during the Spanish Inquisition. The term is used to distinguish their culture, traditions, and typically the Ladino language they speak from other Jewish groups.
