IMHO “Yenta” is a very nice name and “Character-Neutral”. But, unfortunately, some people named Yenta misbehaved in a good-natured way so that the name became synonymous with a nosy-body. Actually, today, it is a description of a certain type of behavior. We once had a landlady who lived on the Second floor of a Two story house. But on the way to her own apartment she invariably stopped by ours. It so happened that the kitchen was the first room one encountered on the way in. So, we got a visit to the kitchen and into the pots on the stove every day.
