Case Insensitive search from find command?

I am not able to figure out how can I do case-insensitive search using the find command.

I tried

find . -name -i pattern

And it does not work.

I believe it's: find . -iname pattern

From man find:

-iname pattern Like -name, but the match is case insensitive.

sudo updatedb
locate -i "nameofthefile"

nameofthefile should be without the inverted commas.
