How did Breed's Hill get its name?
The hill was named for the Breed pastures South of the redoubt, which were owned by Ebenezer Breed.
A "primary source" is a description of the event written by the people who experienced it. A "secondary source" is a description written by people who read the books that the primary-source people wrote.
So, a "primary source" for the Battle of Bunker Hill would be written by the soldiers who fought the battle or who observed it first-hand. Each person saw only a PART of the battle; the part he was involved in. Even for such a small battle as Bunker Hill, no one person saw it all; some things were happening on the other side of the hill. A "primary source" can also be written by asking questions of people who were there.
The "Secondary sources" read the books that the eye-witness observers and participants wrote, sometimes decades later.
The American Revolutionaries had minimal ammunition. Since most of the Revolutionaries were irregulars and the muskets were difficult to aim, conserving ammunition was critical (since misses were high). As a result, General Putnam wanted the Americans to wait until they could see the British easily before shooting so that they would have an easier target. As the British neared the American battle lines, the first line were cut down by musket fire from the Americans.

Why was the battle of Bunker Hill called a major battle?
As a battle, it wasn't all that important. But it was the first time that the colonial army faced up to the British Army. The American colonists were forced to retreat; we didn't "win" the battle. But before then, the British regular army soldiers had generally walked all over the Americans, and this time it was an actual battle. The British lost some of their cockiness and certainty, and the Americans learned that the British soldiers weren't supermen. The Americans learned that victory was possible, and the British learned that defeat was possible.
This "attitude adjustment" between the two sides was to be enormously important.
What was significant about the battle of bunker hill?
Bunker Hill, known as Breeds Hill, was a strategic point where cannons could be placed overlooking Boston. It was thought that if you controlled the Hill, you could control Boston. This was, however, more than a fight for strategic positioning. The Regulars wanted to embarrass the militia and teach them a lesson, so they attacked head-on instead of devising a sound plan.
The Regulars succeed but at a cost: they lose over 1,000 men and Dr. Joseph Warren of the militia dies on the hill becoming the Rebellion's first martyr. Although the Americans are driven from the hill, it gave them confidence that they could fight the Regulars in head-on battles.
