This one is a little tricky. We can see galaxies out to about 13 billion light years and we can assume that these contain stars - but we cannot resolve the individual stars within the galaxies. We can resolve individual stars in a galaxy out to a far distance (mega parsecs) but at this distance almost all these stars can be considered at the same distance - so we can't really say which is the furthest NAMED star.

Because they are finding new stars almost every day then the name given today will be wrong this time tomorrow and all newly discovered stars are given a catalogue number first and unless they are special in some way they will probably never have a name

There are galaxies we know of, at about 8 billion light years distant from us -but we are unable to resolve individual stars.
However, any known stars at this distance will only have catalogue numbers, not proper names.

farthest not furthest. Probably 8 billion light years. Hubble can give answer.
