The '''Sigynnae''' were according to [[Herodotus]], a ethnic group living predominantly north of the river [[Danube|Ister]], but could be found as far as the Eneti on the Adriatic (regions of modern Venice).
[[Herodotus]] claimed that the '''Sigynnae''' said of themselves that there were colonists from [[Medes|Media]], noting that they did wear "Median dress". Yet throughout Greece their name was interchangeable with "huckster" or "small trader"; while on [[Cyprus]] their name was used for "spears".<ref>[[Herodotus]], ''Histories'', 5.9</ref>
