I am not exactly sure when, but a man couldn't get the monks to remember the notes to their songs and hymns, so he replaced the A, B, C notes with Do, Re, Mi. Henceforth, making it much easier to learn.
The system of solfege actually took a couple of hundred years to perfect, however, the beginnings of the system was figured out by a Benedictine monk named Guido D'Arezzo, in the 11th century. His system consisted of six notes: Ut, Re, Mi, Fa, So and La. Since it was before the advent of harmony (and even polyphony) music was more modal and it took a while for that final "ti" note to be developed and used.
The solfege syllables were originally developed by the 11th century music theorist Guido of Arezzo, and was modified by Giovanni Battista Doni.

Solfege method.
Those syllables are called "solfege." Each syllable corresponds to a specific scale degree in the major scale.
You are referring to the syllables used in "solfege", the system of sight-singing and singing practice. The syllables are do (pronounced dough), re, mi, fa, sol, la, and ti (sometimes the last is si instead of ti). Think of "Doe, a Deer" from The Sound of Music. The syllables relate to each other according to the standard major diatonic scale, with the tonic on 'do'.
La is positioned between sol and ti on the solfege scale of music. La is no particular note itself, but rather is assigned to a different note depending the key of the music itself. Solfege is typically used in music to help learn the skill of sight-singing, in which each note is sung as a syllable. By memorizing the position and relative distance between solfege syllables, it is possible to become skilled in singing a piece of music with no assistance other than the sheet of music itself.
You can purchase the sheet music with the solfege to Amani Utupe on music websites. The sheet music can also be found on Amazon.
The use of syllables to substitute for notes is called solfege or solfeggio. Solfege is a music education system that assigns syllables to different pitches or scale degrees. It helps musicians develop their ear-training and sight-singing abilities by providing a way to vocalize and identify musical intervals. Commonly used syllables in solfege include do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, and ti.

If you are using "movable do" solfege, the first syllable is "do". If you are using "stationary do", it depends which minor scale you are using.

There are web pages that show them, both with drawn pictures and live demonstrations on youtube. I can not put a URL in the answer here, but if you do a google search for "solfege hand signs" there are several options to click on.
