What's the difference between

Wo, Wie, Was

I have been googling, watching video's etc but cannot find a definite or right answer as they say different things or don't get to my question, one site said this:

|| || |German | English| |was| what| |wann| when| |wo| where| |wie| how| |warum| why| |wer| who|

However what I don't get is why is "Wie" the English "How" if its "Wie heißen Sie" (What is your name) when broken down it would mean "How is your name"
