   Was Yenta A noblewoman?

   Where did the name Yenta come from?

   • According to the Forward’s Ezra Glinter, the Yiddish term yenta came from the name Yentl, which came from the old Italian word “gentile” (as did the modern words gentle and genteel) — meaning not non-Jewish, but noble or refined. Over time, Yentl became yente or yenta, but the name Yentl never disappeared.

   Who is Yente in 'Fiddler on the roof'?

   • So it goes with “Yente.” The word probably entered the truly mainstream vernacular with the meddling Molly Picon matchmaker character in the 1971 film adaptation of “Fiddler on the Roof.” But before that, humorist Jacob Adler wrote a decades-long column in the Forward featuring a character named “Yente.”
