In summary

From Middle High German īseren, īserīn, from Old High German īsarnīn, from Proto-Germanic *īsarnīnaz. Equivalent to Eiser (“iron”), older variant of Eisen + -en. Now reanalysable as Eisen (“iron”) + -ern, but historically eisern is itself one of the words that contributed to the development of this extended suffix -ern (see there).
