Etymology

Inherited from Middle High German: Pārīs

Cognate with Luxembourgish: Paräis

Cognate with Dutch: Parijs

Borrowed from Latin: Paris

In summary

From Middle High German Pārīs, from Old French Paris. The modern form follows non-diphthongising dialects, obviously reinforced by Modern French. The form Pareis still survives dialectally; compare also Luxembourgish Paräis, Dutch Parijs.
