With the popularity of some new Matchmaker TV shows including the Millionaire Matchmaker and with an upswing for celebrity matchmakers

I have also noticed a large increase in the number of searches online for the words “Yiddish word for matchmaker”

Anyway to answer the question that it seems lots of people are asking

What is the Yiddish word for Matchmaker?

Shadchen

This is the correct Yiddish term, not Yenta. A Yenta is just a talkative, gossipy woman
