Applegirl wrote: I'm not very familiar as to the reason why Robin introduced himself to Snow White and Regina in the EF as "Robin of Locksley". I assumed it was an implication of something from the original Robin Hood tale, but I wasn't sure what exactly. Personally, I believe introducing himself "Robin of Locksley"  Robin simply might have added where he was born. I don't know how many other Robins there are in the Enchanted Forest, so in order to be remembered easier (whatever good it does you if you're a thief) he's the Robin from Loxley.

Inspired by you I've done some searching and I found a interesting website which really has collected many, many information about Robin Hood.

Bold Outlaw

This website says that the Sloane manuscript from 1600 Anno Dommini states that Robin Hood was born in a village called Loxley.

A town called Loxley can still be found near Sheffield, South Yorkshire, United Kingdom. Back in the 12th century  the area had large forests to the south-east extending as far as Nottinghamshire. Another possibility might be a  town called Loxley in Warwickshire. Surnames are often derived from a place.

Surname Locksley

In the 2010 movie Robin Hood starring Russell Crowe telling the background why Robin Hood became an outlaw (mostly rather fictional I think) an common archer who fought for the late King Richard on his crusade is asked by a dying knight to bring his father back the longsword the knight took with him. Having no heir the grieving lord decides to adopt the archer as his son. In the process he inheritates the lord's title "of Loxley" as well.
