The lute originated in the Middle East, specifically in the region that is now Iran, where it evolved from ancient stringed instruments like the oud. It later spread to Europe during the Middle Ages, particularly through Spain and Italy, where it underwent various modifications and became a prominent instrument in Renaissance music. Over time, the lute became a key instrument in Western Classical Music, especially in the 16th and 17th centuries.
