両人 is a slightly old-fashioned, formal term for 'the two persons' similar to 両氏, but it lacks the honorific nuance tied to using surnames or titles.
二人 is the everyday, neutral word for 'two people', whereas 両氏 is formal and used mainly in news or official writing about respected individuals.
氏名 means a person's 'full name' and shares the kanji 氏 with 両氏, but the two words are unrelated in meaning.
Compound of 両 (both) and 氏 (honorific suffix for a person, originally a clan or family name). The reading りょうし is a standard on'yomi combination.
