He is never actually named. He is simply called the Elvenking.
In later books, including The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion, we learn that he is Thranduil son of Oropher, a Sindarin elf of Doriath. Thranduil is also the father of Legolas.

What values are important to the elves in The Hobbit?
In 'The Hobbit', the elves are described as a fun-loving people. While the dwarves approach Rivendell, the elves sing taunting songs at them, but Tolkien also mentions several times that they are very wise. Elrond is described as 'as kind as summer', among other things. So I would think that the elves do not take things too seriously, value kindness, but also wisdom, and some (the Elvenking of Mirkwood, for example) value their privacy and secrecy. Craftsmanship also seems important, as does music. The Elvenking also seemed very proud. In 'The Lord of the Rings', the descriptions of the elves make them seem far more 'serious', with less of the merrymaking described in 'The Hobbit'.
What name did the Elvenking give to Bilbo?
elf-friend and blessed
