From the Wikipedia article

Background
History
The name Lochee is thought to come from Loch E’e or eye of the loch, referring to a small loch and burn which once ran through the area near Balgay. The site of the original settlement is believed to be close to present-day Myrekirk. Maps from the late 18th century show both Locheye and Lochee as place names. In the 15th century the loch was drained by the Duncan family, who offered crofting land along the burn. One tenant was James Cox, a Dutch immigrant whose family became known for linen production. By the early 1700s the Cox family were established as linen merchants.
