Thanks but it is not related to rope. Two of these are connected to a rod to allow hanging of objects.
 
Its a support bracket / mounting bracket, as e.g. for curtain rods.

Or for supporting a bar rail, more likely for curtain rods though.

Support for those foot rest rails in bars?
 
Wardrobe rail hanging support / centre supports

Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.
 
As hydtools says Rail post or Stanchion.

You are judged not by what you know, but by what you can do.

The Perko "Guard Rail Post" is fairly sturdy, and priced accordingly.
Drapery/ curtain hardware like a "hanger" is generally not nearly so sturdy.
Handrail "stanchions" may be short or quite a bit longer.

The name depends on the application, but none of the words in common use maps to a particular style, geometry, material, or load rating with any certainty, so you can't reliably order what you want without a picture and a model number.

How about "rod/ towel rail / curtain rod /kitchen utensils rail etc. hanging bracket".

It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. (Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia.)
 
The difference between the applications comes down to material of construction and strength.
For curtains it would be Zn with a flash coating and it could hold 10-20kg.
The boat rail bracket is Cr plated brass and ti will probably support more like 100-150kg.
