I've heard it pronounced Farabri and Shaykh Abu Hasan also wrote Farabri on other threads. Nevertheless:

 

[abu Hasan]

al ansab of al-sam'ani (d. 562 AH) 4/359

farabri - fat'h of faa and raa, sukun of baa

 

[abu Hasan]

however, firabri is also correct

i have verified it from various works that mention this variation.

qadi iyad in his mashariq al-anwar, 2/679, says that the one with kasrah firabr is right, though it is also with fat'hah as affirmed by ibn makula and daraqutni (in his mu'talif wa'l mukhtalif).

then we have yaqut al-hamawi in his mu'juam al-buldan, who affirms it as firabri.

----
murtada zabidi in taj al-arus, 13/311 cites this as the standard, and also acknowledging the fat'hah:

=====
ibn al-athir in his lubab fi tahzib al-ansab, mentions only with fat'hah:

====
dhahabin in siyar v15/p11 says that farabri with fat'hah is more famous, but with kasrah is also correct:
