The clefs in music scores appears way down in the Medieval period: centuries before the modern notation came into practice. The ancient clefs had no names such as treble clef or bass clef. Some of oldest clefs are F clef and G clef. They had no fixed position in the staff: also known as dynamic clefs. The alto clef and tenor clefs are two positions derived from the ancient C clef.
