Early matchmaker? (4)

I believe the answer is:
noah
'early matchmaker?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for noah that I've seen before include "Biblical builder of great ship" , "He survived 40 days and 40 nights of rain" , "Ark-builder" , "First collector of animals?" , "Biblical skipper during the Flood" .)
