Paris was the son of the king of Troy. He fell in love with Helen and brought her back to Troy, at which point Agamemnon and his brother (Helen's husband), plus a bunch of other people, attacked Troy to get Helen back. (Using the Trojan horse)

Gauls of the Parisii tribe settled in the area that became Paris between 250 and 200 BC and founded a fishing village on an island in the river that is the present-day Ile de la Cité -- the center around which Paris developed. So Paris is an abbreviation of Parisii and has no relation to Paris the brother of Hector and son of Priam King of Troy - you have to consult Homer for that great tale.
