Alfandari was a family of eastern rabbis prominent in the 17th and 18th centuries, found in Smyrna, Constantinople, and Jerusalem.
A Portuguese family of the name Alphandéry still exists, as of 1906, in Paris and Avignon.
In Avignon there was a physician, Moses Alphandéry, in 1506,[1] and a Lyon Alphanderic, in 1558.
