Yes--it originally evolved the rebab, a two-stringed instrument from the Middle East/North Africa. When it came to Europe, it evolved into the rebec, which was similar, and then it became the "lira da braccio," which was played by arm and more of lyre than a violin. In the 1550s, today's violins bean to appear in Italy.
