They are called exomoons

Wouldn't that term be for moons in solar systems
other than this one?

What you've neglected to mention is that the parent moon
to the submoon must not be tidally locked to the parent
planet, as the locking mechanism would also sap energy
from the submoon's orbit.
This would mean you'd need a large moon (to have
enough rotational momentum to keep spinning over
geological time) in a wide orbit (to lessen the tidal lock),
far from the parent planet. This moon would have
immense orbital angular momentum. That energy would
have to come from somewhere and makes the
spontaneous formation of a moon capable of supporting
a stable submoon extremely unlikely.
There are none in the solar system that we are aware of,
and I suspect it's very rare in the wider galaxy.

You are exactly right -- the whole point of our
paper was to look at tidal constraints on moons of
