I'll bid three points!

He was called Oakenshield because in the Battle of the Nanduhirion, Thorin marched into the battle with a great dwarf army, but during the course of the fighting his shield was broken. He then cut a bow from a great oak tree with his axe, and used the bough to stave off the orc's blows, and to club them.
