Of the 67 moons orbiting Jupiter, the 4 largest, smallest to largest, are Europa, Io, Callisto, Ganymede. The 4 in closest orbit to Jupiter are Metis, Adrastea, Amalthea, and Thebe. These are referred to as the Amalthean moons.
The 4 largest Jovian moons (Jupiter is "Jove" in Greek) are some of the largest bodies in the Solar system, after the Sun and planets. Genymede is larger than the planet Mercury.
These 4 large Jovian moons would be planetesimals if they orbited the Sun. The moons smaller than these 4 are quite a bit smaller . . . many of which just have "J" (for Jupiter) numbers instead of names.
