You are looking for -H option in gnu grep   find   -name   bills   -exec grep -H  put          Here is the explanation      -H  --with-filename       Print the filename for each match

Now that the question is clearer  you can just do this in one grep  grep -R --include   bills    put      With relevant flags     -R  -r  --recursive           Read  all  files  under  each  directory   recursively   this is           equivalent to the -d recurse option     --include GLOB           Search only files whose base name matches GLOB   using  wildcard           matching as described under --exclude

Or maybe even easier  grep -R put     bills    The    glob syntax means  any depth of directories    It will work in Zsh  and I think recent versions of Bash too
