I didn't like all the other answers, too long, too complicated or didn't trace the stack correctly. Here my approach, if you need more custom props pass them to the constructor and set them like name.

class CustomError extends Error {
  constructor (message) {
    super(message)

    // needed for CustomError instanceof Error => true
    Object.setPrototypeOf(this, new.target.prototype);

    // Set the name
    this.name = this.constructor.name

    // Maintains proper stack trace for where our error was thrown (only available on V8)
    if (Error.captureStackTrace) {
      Error.captureStackTrace(this, this.constructor)
    }
  }
}

// create own CustomError sub classes
class SubCustomError extends CustomError{}

// Tests
console.log(new SubCustomError instanceof CustomError) // true
console.log(new SubCustomError instanceof CustomError) // true 
console.log(new CustomError instanceof Error) // true
console.log(new SubCustomError instanceof Error) // true

throw new SubCustomError ('test error')
