This was added to OpenBSD 17 years ago. Other BSDs soon followed. Solaris & IllumOS support it too.

For some reason I recalled -iname failing on FreeBSD but I've just logged onto some devs boxes (not that I didn't trust your post!) and it seems you're right as the option is there in the man pages.

Apologies for this. It just goes to show how fallible the human memory is. :-/
