I see -name well documented in section "2.3.1 Base Name Patterns":

   https://www.gnu.org/software/findutils/manual/html_mono/find.html#Base-Name-Patterns

The navigation structure isn't that bad either IMO:

   2 Finding Files
     2.1 find Expressions
     2.2 Starting points
     2.3 Name
         2.3.1 Base Name Patterns  <-- -name
         ...

One can find the -name option also via the INDEX:
   https://www.gnu.org/software/findutils/manual/html_mono/find.html#Primary-Index

Have a nice day,
