My Great-Grans surname was Cybert. It looks Welsh and if pronounced in Welsh it would be Clybert. Is it Welsh though? Please answer thanks!

This is more likely: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seibert

Still, is Cybert in that case German? Bert is a German ending for a surname. So it still should count as German.

Not only. There are French and British names that end in ..bert, and probably others too. Seibert however is a German name.

Not that everyone with a German name is German.

So it still should count as German.

That doesn't make much sense.

You don't say what country you're in. If however some of your family were immigrants to wherever, you should be able to find some record of the move. Also, the death certificate of the family member you're interested in should say where they were born.

More likely Anglicised than Polonised, given the spelling.

Considering all the forces affecting Polish surnames over the centuries -- including widepsread illiteracy, linguistic licence and the partitiond -- any of those could have been the source of the Cybert surname. From a purely lingustic standpoint, the German vowel combination "ie" usually goes into Polish as a "y". On that basis, the source should be Ziebert.

It is not a common name now. There were more Cyberts in Poland in the 20th Century, but still not a common name as can be seen from this site which shows the occurrence of the name:
