Who named sagittarius?

It was the Babylonians who first identified the constellation and gave it the qualities of an Archer. The Greeks kept that association and by some account, the centaur represented is Chiron, who was a renowned Archer (in other accounts, he is the nearby constellation of Centaurus). The Romans, to avoid confusion, simply called the constellation what it was, an Archer, which in Latin is Sagittarius.

Is the constellation Sagittarius a minor constellation within a bigger constellation?

No, but it has an "asterism", which might be confusing you. The "teapot" is an asterism in Sagittarius. You may think that is the minor constellation. Another possible source of confusion is the fact that there's another, smaller, constellation called "Sagitta".
