There are several versions of the tale. One is that he gave the money back to the poor people who he felt had been unjustly taxed or robbed of the money.
Another version has Robin Hood using the money to finance his militia in the woods, buying food, blankets and weapons.
Another version has all of the stolen money going to finance the ransom for the rightful King, who was being held in Europe.

Why is Robin Hood called Robin Hood?
Question is not clear. Do you mean "Why was Robin Hood considered an invented story rather than a historical fact?" or "Why did Robin Hood achieve status as a legend rather than other outlaws?" I deal with the latter question both in my Midwest Folklore article "Jesse James as Robin Hood" and the "Afterward" to my novel The Robin Hood Chronicles. The appeal of Robin Hood is that he was a scamp who could make you laugh while he was robbing you.-- Sam Sackett
