The post actually is the banister. The fat bit that you slide your hand on is called a handrail or a balustrade.
A 'Newel'
Newel posts are used at each end of stair balustrading with spindles or balusters along the length supporting the handrail.
For installing a handrail, it's best to use wood screws rather than nails for a secure attachment. If you prefer using nails, choose finishing nails or trim nails with a gauge appropriate for the handrail material. Ensure they are long enough to penetrate the handrail and the wall or post for stability. Additionally, consider using adhesive alongside mechanical fasteners for added strength.

To install a handrail on concrete steps, you will need to drill holes into the concrete, insert anchor bolts, and secure the handrail brackets to the bolts. Then, attach the handrail to the brackets using screws or bolts. Make sure to use a level to ensure the handrail is straight and secure.
To remove a handrail installed in concrete, start by locating and removing any visible screws or bolts securing the handrail to the concrete. If the handrail is set in concrete, use a chisel and hammer or a pry bar to carefully break away the concrete around the base of the handrail. Once the concrete is loose, you can lift the handrail out. Be cautious to avoid damaging surrounding concrete or surfaces.
I call it a bannister if it is an indoor one. Outside is just a hand rail or railing.
To grout handrail posts in concrete, a high-strength, non-shrink grout is typically used. This type of grout ensures a stable and durable bond between the post and the concrete, preventing movement and enhancing structural integrity. The grout is usually mixed with water to the manufacturer's specifications and applied around the base of the post after it has been positioned in the concrete. Proper curing of the grout is essential for optimal strength and performance.
This probably refers to a handrail that doesn't meet with the current building code standards.
