Herodotus places them amongst the Celts, but with the name 'Cyn' I can't help wonder if they were a Germanic tribe.
Any help would be grateful. Google doesn't offer much.

I dont' know, but the root-word "Cyn- Cym-" is a typical celtic root word (like "Cymru"[the celtic name of Wales] or "Cymmeria").

Cyn (or Kyn) means dog in ancient greek.
