Hercynian settlement

Hi,
Livy mentions in his account of the Gaulish king Ambitgatus, during the
reign of Tarquinius Priscus in Rome, sending his nephew Bellovesus with a
folliwing of Gauls into Italy and Segovesus with a following of Gauls
into Hercynian forest of Southern Germany. This was due to the
population of Gaul becoming too large.

Julius Caesar also mentions: "There was a time when the Gauls were more
warlike than the Germans, when they actually invaded German territory,
and sent colonists across the Rhine because their own country was too
small to support its large population. It was in this way that the most
fertile district of Germany, in the neighborhood of the Hercynian forest
(which I see was known to Eratosthenes and other Greeks, who call it
Orcynia) was seized and occupied by the Volcae Tectosages....."

Was this Gaulish settlement in Hercynian forest mentioned by Caesar the
same as that mentioned by Livy?

Also, what is the etymology of Hercynia and Orcynia, are they Celtic
words?
