there's some quaint (unsubstantiated) IE-derived speculation: an amateur IE hanger-on discussing Grimm's law of IE-change from p to f, uses this to argue that Parsi to Farsi was perhaps natural evolution and supposedly not due to Arabic. This is then argued/refuted by another poster:
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--><b>Quote:</b><!--QuoteBegin--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->This is particular piece of information that would tend to cast doubt on the change of Parsi (Parsee) to Farsi in Modern Persian as the result of an Arabic influence.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
This particular piece of information tells us the contrary (which means that we probably will have to move away from "particular pieces of information"):
Persian pardis > Arabic firdaus > (back loan) Persian firdaus.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
