Template:Short description Script error: No such module "redirect hatnote". Tzarfat (Template:Langx, Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a Biblical placename that may refer to Sarepta in Lebanon. From Medieval Hebrew and into Modern Hebrew, it has come to be identified with France. The modern term evolved from the medieval Zarfat, as seen in Joseph ha-Kohen's Dibre ha-Yamim le-Malke Zarfat we-'Otoman (Chronicles of the Kings of France and the Ottoman Empire).

The epithet tzarfati (Script error: No such module "Lang".) was frequently applied in rabbinical literature to Jews of French birth or descent[1] and it has become a surname variously spelled as Tzarfati, Sarfati, etc.
