What is the name of the point when a spacecraft is furthest from the moon?

The extreme points of an orbit are generically called "apsis", and that's now the preferred term for all bodies. The furthest point in the orbit would be apoapsis, or for the Moon specifically, apolune, though as noted this term is now deprecated.
Note that this applies only to orbits. There is no word for the furthest point of the entire journey.

When the Moon is farthest from the Earth this point is called .?
The moon is said to be at its Perigee when at its closest point to the Earth, Apogee when at its furthest point. Perigee and Apogee can also be used for other objects when orbiting about the Earth. If we talk about objects orbiting the sun (such as the planets) we use the term Perihelion and Aphelion (the helion part coming from the latin name of helios for the sun). If the perigee coincides with a full moon, we get a `supermoon`. The moon is at its largest circumference as it is at its closest, and is also full.
