No. Farsi is the Arabic and Persian word for Persian.

Arabic & Persian are not the same language, in fact, Persian is grammatically much closer to English than it is to Arabic. The confusion stems from the fact that Farsi is written in Arabic letters, but similarly Polish and Tagalog are written in Roman Letters (like English), but that says nothing as to the linguistic similarity of those languages.
