Both are correct. "Farsi" is actually the Arabic version of "Parsi" (meaning "Persian" in, well, Persian). As a Persian, I personally don't use "Farsi".

Do you also personally not use any Arabic derived words in Persian? Silly idea to try to remove Arabic influence on Persian.

Do you try to use Anglaise to refer to the English language? Bad idea to remove French influence on English.
