there are officially five planets outside our solar system that have been given names. These planets are also known as exoplanets. The named exoplanets are:

  1. 51 Pegasi b (also known as Dimidium): This was the first exoplanet discovered orbiting a Sun-like star.

  2. HD 209458 b (also known as Osiris): This exoplanet is located approximately 150 light-years away in the constellation Pegasus.

  3. HD 189733 b: This exoplanet is located about 63 light-years away in the constellation Vulpecula.

  4. PSR B1257+12 A and PSR B1257+12 B: These two exoplanets were discovered orbiting a pulsar, a rapidly rotating neutron star.

Please note that the field of exoplanet research is rapidly evolving, and new discoveries are being made frequently. There may be additional named exoplanetsdate. I recommend checking with more up-to-date sources or astronomical databases for the latest information on named exoplanets.
