When to use "sino" (who) and when to "ano" (what)?

Question

Okay, I'm sure "sino" is used for persons and "ano" is used for things.

But how come when we ask a person for his name, we say "ano ang pangalan mo?" Since we are talking to a person, shouldn't we say "sino ang pangalan mo?"

I am a bit confused so I'm asking. Clarifications would be most appreciated. And no, this is not an assignment. Thanks!

Answer 1

would you say "who is your name"?
