Ashkenazi, as compared with Sephardim, refers to the group of Jews who, after the diaspora, settled in Europe. Many famous Jews are Ashkenazi (which is both a noun and an adjective): Albert Einstein among them. Ashkenazi Jews follow many different practices than Sephardim. For instance, Sephardi Jews eat rice on Passover, but Ashkenazi Jews do not.
