    Just as there are bad witches and good witches, so there are good yentas and bad yentas. A good yenta provides you knowledge and wisdom about everything and a bad yenta is just an annoyance and gossip.

Has also recently come to mean a woman who fits negative stereotypes of urban women. See: characters on Sex and the City.

                        Yenta or Yente (Yiddish: יענטע) is a Yiddish womens 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 Yinglish—i.e., become a Yiddish loanword in Jewish varieties of English—as a word referring to a woman who is a gossip or a busybody.
