The letter Y is not considered a true German letter. All words in the German beginning with Y are so called loan-words, e.g.

Yperit - mustard gas

Ypsiloneule - Argotis ypsilon

Ysop - hyssop

Ytterbinerde - ytterbium earth

Ytterspat - xenotime

According to the Duden dictionary (the official German dictionary,) there are seventy entries for the letter Y.

The "Y" sound in German comes from the letter "J" Most German words that start with a "Y" are imports like Yacht, Yen, or Yard. The letter "Y" is called Ypsilon in German.
