Morphology
university + of + Paris
The meaning ('a university located in Paris') is directly and compositionally derivable from the constituents 'university' + 'of' + 'Paris' — it names an institution situated in Paris. This place-name/genitive pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows standard English noun + of + location structure, so a B1 learner who knows the component words will readily understand it.
Etymology
University of Paris is a modern public research university set up in 2019 that chose the old name to show it belongs to the city and to the long history of study in Paris. That's why today the same name can refer to a new, separate university as well as the medieval institution.
