The first confirmed exoplanet is called 51 Pegasi b. It was discovered on October 6th 1995 by Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz.
Note: 51 Pegasi or 51 Pegasi a is the parent star.
The average size of an exoplanet is generally larger than Earth but smaller than gas giants like Jupiter. Most exoplanets discovered so far have a size between that of Earth and Neptune.
