"Zither" is the name for a range of Musical Instruments that have strings that do not extend past the sounding box. The word "zither" is derived from the Greek word "kithara" as is the word "guitar".

A harpsichord can also be considered a zither.

For the purposes of what is commonly known as a zither, those zithers originated from their respective places. The Western zither was invented in Austria and the Eastern zither was invented in China. Although it's possible neither of those countries existed when the instruments were invented.

This means it is likely there is no single answer to the question asked here.
