Yenta
Yenta or Yente () is a Yiddish woman's given name. It is a variant form of the name ''Yentl'' (), which ultimately is thought to be derived from the Italian word ''gentile'', meaning 'noble' or 'refined'. The name has entered American English only in the form ''yenta'' in the senses of "meddler, busybody, blabbermouth, gossip" and is not only used to refer to women. Both the forms ''yenta'' and ''yente'' are used in Yinglish (Jewish varieties of English) to refer to someone who is a gossip or a busybody. The use of ''yenta'' as a word for 'busybody' originated in the age of Yiddish theatre. During and after World War I, Yiddish-language discs recorded in New York by theatre actors such as Clara Gold and Gus Goldstein portrayed the characters Mendel and Yente Telebende and sold so well that dozens of copycat recordings were made. The popularity continued in the 1920s and 1930s as the humorist Jacob Adler, writing under the pen name B. Kovner for ''The Jewish Daily Forward'', wr ...

Shadchan
The ''Shidduch'' (, pl. ''shidduchim'' , Aramaic ''shidduchin)'' is a system of matchmaking in which Jewish singles are introduced to one another in Orthodox Jewish communities for the purpose of marriage. The practice In the past and until today in more conservative Orthodox Jewish circles, dating is limited to the search for a marriage partner. Both sides (usually the parents, close relatives or friends of the persons involved, and the singles themselves) make inquiries about the prospective partner (e.g., on his/her character, intelligence, level of learning, financial status, family and health status, appearance, and level of religious observance). A ''shidduch'' often begins with a recommendation from family members, friends, or others who see matchmaking as a mitzvah, or commandment. Some engage in it as a profession and charge a fee for their services. Usually, a professional matchmaker is called a '' shadchan'', but anyone who makes a ''shidduch'' is considered the ''sh ...
