There has been debate over which meteor strike was actually the largest. The largest known strike was actually the event that created the moon and which gave the earth it's rotation. This occurred during the early days of our solar system, but the largest known existing strike zone (Which is also believed to be the strike that killed the dinosaurs) is knows plainly as Meteor Crater. The meteor was named 'Meteor'.
