After going through two Latin dictionaries without finding a word strting with the letter y, I get the idea that there isn't one. The best I could come up with is that the Romans would use y in a Greek derived word, but not at the beginning of the word. The y is the symbol for the Greek letter upsilon.

Preceding is a very good answer. The ancient Roman alphabet had only 21 letters- and Y was not one of them.
