<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Most likely from a tribe called 'Parasu'. The Vedic and later texts mention them. They were also called 'parshavs' and their land 'parasya'.
The medieaval term 'farsi' came from the town of 'Fars' in North-Central Persia.

On the http://iranianlanguages.com/ forum they mentioned that the original Persian language does not have the F sound. The F sound came with the Arab invaders.

So the original name of the province is Parsa and the language Parsi.

Here is an English translation of the Achamenian King Cyrus' inscription.
You can see that he called himself Kurus/kurush and Persians are called Parsas. Also note the great similarity between old Persian and Samskrta. Further he refers to the province of Sindh as Hidus :-
