Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel measured its distance from Earth at about 10.4 light years, very close to the actual value of about 11.4 light years; this was the first distance estimate for any star other than the Sun,[13] and first star to have its stellar parallax measured.

Cygni is not the name of a star. It refers to the constellation cygnus (the swan), and is used in the names of stars and other objects within that constellation. For example, the system 61 cygni and the star gamma cygni. The constellation doesn't have a single distance from the earth because the objects of which it is made are all at different distances. For example, the brightest star in the constellation, referred to as alpha cygni, is at a distance of 1630 light years, while gamma cygni, the third brightest star in the constellation, is at a distance of about 1800 light years. 61 cygni on the other hand is only about 11 light years from earth.

What planets have three suns?
16 Cygni Ab, it is named like this since it orbits the main star, with two stars orbiting outside it's orbit. there are four objects in that system. 16 Cygni A, 16 Cygni B, 16 Cygni C, and 16Cygni Ab. to find out how the names work, there are plenty of lists out there on binary star/planet system naming.
