Trojan satellites or trojan moon are natural satellites that are in the lagrangian point (L4 and L5) of another bigger (more massive) moon. All the known examples are Saturn's moon. In particular Tethys and Dione have other moon in their lagrangian point L4 and L5</p>

Look Wikipedia! "Trojan (astronomy)" "Unlike trojan minor planets that share the orbit with a planet, a trojan moon is a moon orbiting near the trojan point of another, larger moon. All known trojan moons are part of the Saturn system. Telesto and Calypso are trojans of Tethys, and Helene and Polydeuces of Dione."
