I was pickled by curiosity because in Spanish, and other Romance languages, the notes have other names (Do, Re, Mí, Fa, Sol, La , Si). I found they were introduced for singing training using the Hymn to St. John the Baptist, "Ut queant laxis". They were the first syllables of the verses (except Ut and Sa which were changed to Do and Si for being easier to uterate).
We name the singing training "solfeo".
Nothing to do with math, sorry for the diversion, thank you for the post.
