The word "Farab" is a Persian term for a locale that is irrigated by effluent springs or flows from a nearby river. The older Persian Parab or Faryab (also Paryab), is a common Persian toponym meaning "lands irrigated by diversion of river water". Farabi's parents were of Persian descent. His father "was an army captain of Persian extraction." A Persian origin. Farabi's works contain references and glosses in Persian, Sogdian. Sogdian has also been suggested as his native language and the language of the inhabitants of Farab which was an Iranian-speaking Central Asian origin. Farabi was a Persian Philosopher

To say he was Persian is a fair inference from all the evidence you cite, but it should be remembered that he wrote his texts in Arabic, with his thought being disseminated originally in that language. Hence, his output should be regarded as Arabic literature, regardless of the author's ethnic background.
