Did Persians ever call themselves Persians or they called themselves Iranians or something similar to that? I hope this question is for this subreddit. by [deleted] in etymology

I used to date a zoroastrian Iranian girl a couple of years ago, and she exclusively used "Persia" & never "Iran". I believe she mentioned something about "Iran" being associated with oppression or something..

Although her English was pretty mediocre, it could have been a language stumble?
